Hello,
A quick and dirty way to make a (non-policy conforming) debian package
is checkinstall. It's apt-getable.
sid
http://packages.debian.org/sid/checkinstall
Homepage
http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/
I've no experience of using it with easy_install though, but it works
well with the GNU way. Just issue "checkinstall make install" instead of
"make install" as root and the package will be installed/managed by dpkg.
Regards,
ST
