I've run into the same problems, though I've only wanted to build packages for my own use, or company-internal use.

I think I've understood now how packaging is supposed to work, and have written a guide, shameless plug: http://leanpub.com/debian/c/hn (coupon link to get a free copy; feedback would be appreciated).

I'm just looking through it, for me looking through the epub version the layout is broken (at least viewing using Adobe Digital Editions), apparently every time there's a yellow block with code.

"1.1 Target Audience and Prerequisites" is the first example but I keep finding more.

Thanks, I'll have to bring that to leanpub's attention, the PDF looks fine.

https://wiki.debian.org/Packaging points to the official documentation.
