	Debian Policy Manual - Control files and their fields
		In the control file of a binary package it may be followed by a version number in parentheses[28].
		This format represents the case where a piece of software was written specifically to be turned into a Debian package, and so there is only one "debianisation" of it and therefore no revision indication is required.
		file indicates that the file in question is not an ordinary package file and must by installed by hand by the distribution maintainers.

	HOWTO make a deb archive without dpkg - Synthesize.us
		It is important to note that the way described here is surely not the easy or right way to make proper debs that conform to anything resembling debian-policy; if you need to do that, you should probably be using dpkg.
		The example deb that is created here will install a set of Maemo sound effects, but these instructions could also be useful if you are creating debs for other purposes.
		Deb archives are ar archives containing three files: debian-binary, control.tar.gz, and data.tar.gz.

	Deb Strain
		Eugene Victor Debs (November 5, 1855 – October 20, 1926) was an American labor and political leader and five-time Socialist Party candidate for President of the United States.
		Debs was born in Terre Haute, Indiana (where he lived most of his life), to middle-class immigrant parents, from Colmar, Alsace.

	TimeZoneChanges - Debian Wiki
		Debian includes timezone files in the /usr/share/zoneinfo directory tree, which is part of the libc6 package in releases Sarge and earlier, and in a separate tzdata package for Etch and later.
		After the zoneinfo files are updated, you may need to restart daemons and other long-running programs to get them to use the new zone information.
		The compiled zoneinfo file appears to be platform and architecture independent, so if you have multiple machines to update you should be able to move the file as-is without running zic again.

		In addition to dependencies and conflicts, deb packages have recommended and suggested packages, which, though not absolutely necessary to install or run the software in the given package, may be helpful.
		Each line consists of the type (deb for binary packages, deb-src for source packages), the location, the version to use (referenced either by codename (potato, woody, etc) or status (stable, frozen, etc)), and a list of the branches to use.
		These files may be overridden globally by placing files in /etc/menu, or on a per-user basis with files ~/.menu.

	Create Debian Linux packages
		The control.tar.gz file contains the control file; the postinst file, which contains instructions on what to do after installing the package; and the prerm file, which contains removal instructions.
		Every Debian binary package should have a filename that follows this format: packagename_version_arch.deb, where "packagename" is the name of the package, "version" is the package version with major, minor, and revision numbers, and "arch" is the architecture for the package.
		So, for example, if your program has a configuration file that belongs in etc/, the program itself, which will live in usr/bin/, and some documentation that lives under usr/share/doc/package/, you'll recreate that filesystem tree in a directory that will be used to create your package.

		Note that other version formats based on dates which are parsed correctly by the package management system should not be changed.
