Deepstream-pg – add realtime to PostgreSQL

Why is that every time I see some bunch of programmers publishing a DEB package, it's atrocious and not built properly?

Would you like to elaborate?

I can see from afar that it was not built with dpkg-buildpackage. My bet it was built with FPM, which would be OK for an artifact for internal use, but is ridiculous when published (FPM doesn't fill many important fields unless specifically asked, and programmers usually couldn't be bothered with providing those by themselves).

Also, keeping code in /var/lib? What?!? Ever heard of LSB?

And just run lintian over the DEB file.
