Making packages relies on external tools, and things may change from one 
distribution version to a next distribution version, and I am not usually 
aware of these changes until someone tells that it does not work anymore!

To help you, I need the project you want to package. Then I will test on my 
Ubuntu 9.10 64 bits VirtualBox system and see what happens.
