+This document is a brief introduction to how to Debianize a piece of software, i.e. to create a package for a Debian or Ubuntu distribution so that it can be managed alongside other system software.
+
+You'll need a few packages for doing Debian development, so you should run
+
+{{{ sudo aptitude install build-essential dh-make devscripts cdbs equivs lintian dpatch quilt dpkg-dev }}}
+
+If you're a fan of emacs as a text editor, you should also run
+
+{{{ sudo aptitude install debian-el devscripts-el dpkg-dev-el }}}
