Google Tech Talk by Jonathan Oxer about the internal structure of Debian/Ubuntu packages and how to create them, starting with disection of a binary package and then going through the process of creating your own package using various build helper scripts to automate much of the process. This talk was largely inspired by (read: \"ripped off from\"!) Matt Palmer\'s talk at Debian Miniconf 5. Originally presented 2006-07-21. More information at http://jon.oxer.com.au/talks/id/30. This talk was filmed and can be viewed online at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFzPrzY2KFM
