Compiling Question

[NoOp]

Today I came across the problem of not being able to install a 32bit deb
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencpn/files/opencpn/1.3.6/opencpn_1.3.6_i386.deb/download)
on my 64bit laptop. The issue is/was OpenCPN:

 http://opencpn.sourceforge.net/

So, I bit the bullet and decided to compile from svn using these
instructions (sorry for the long url, but the site is having issues so I
use the google cache link):

Followed all the instructions and used:

Make went well, install went well (it's working just fine on the
laptop), but for the life of me I can't find the .deb that this
instruction was supposed to create. What did I miss?
