+The debian directory needs some tweaks.  The [attachment:control control], [attachment:copyright copyright] and [attachment:rules rules] are attached.  Rules is most interesting in that it is functional.  The key part is:
+
+{{{
+build:
+        autoreconf --install
+        ./configure --prefix=/usr
+        make
+
+%:
+        dh $@ 
+
+}}}
+
+The {{{build}}} rule includes the build instructions from the !VirtualSquare installation pages, with the prefix given.  That's what debian uses, and {{{libtool}}} will snarl the install process without it.
+
+Once it his in in place 
+
+{{{
+$ debuild -uc -us
+}}}
+
+from {{{/tmp/vde-2}}} will build the deb (in {{{/tmp}}}).  {{debuild}}} runs {{{lintian}}} which complains about .la files with embedded paths.  This is resolved by the install process.
