how to make a *.deb package from source

[Larry Hartman]

What order of steps should I take?

./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo checkinstall make install

I am wondering if i should do it in this fashion instead?

./configure
make
sudo checkinstall make install

and skip the "sudo make install" step.
