Thank you! The clean target still complains about makefile.my not
existing, but I can handle that, I think the reason is clear.
Temporarily letting clean do nothing, the process now finishes with
success, and a deb file is created! I did have the feeling that what I
was doing was overkill :-)

The binary doesn't seem to get included in the resulting deb file. Do
I need to mention the debian/install file somewhere? (it didn't exist,
so I created it)

Thanks,
