Note that if you do that for debian, you must do that for all other systems 
supported by the packager! 

There are four routines in the packager: one for *.deb packages, one for *.rpm 
packages, one for *.tgz packages (Arch Linux), and one for a tar.gz package 
installable by "make" and "make install".
