# 1) Create a directory named "repo" in ~
# 2) Create a directory named "packages" in ~
# 3) Create a directory within "packages called "<AppName>"
# 4) Create a directory within "<AppName>" called "DEBIAN
# 5) Create a "control" file within directory "DEBIAN"
# 5b) *Note* an empty line may be required at the end of the control file.
# 6) Create a debian package file from the "packages" directory $dpkg-deb -b <AppName> /path/to/debs/
# 7) Create a "Packages" file, $dpkg-scanpackages debs / > Packages
# 8) $bzip2 -fks Packages
# 9) *Note* a "Release" file is needed for repo information.
