Is this for Guallet, or for another app? For Guallet, you can see the
changes I made during the initial review in the bzr branch
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~allison/+junk/extras-guallet/files.
Specifically, the debian/rules file should have the following lines to
install all libraries and binaries under /opt:

======
PKGDIR=opt/extras.ubuntu.com/guallet

%:
        dh $@ --with python2

override_dh_auto_install:
        dh_auto_install -- --install-lib=/$(PKGDIR)/
--install-scripts=/$(PKGDIR)/bin/
======

Other apps will have similar debian/rules files, just change PKGDIR to
"opt/extras.ubuntu.com/<packagename>". For apps that aren't Python apps,
you can also drop "--with python2".

Hope this helps,
Allison
