Packaging tutorial shouldn&#x27;t be technical details how deb package works but how you build one (if you want those details you can also find them in Debian documentation but in the end deb package is just an ar file with it&#x27;s set of make file that satisfies the installation in specific distro - this is the simple explanation). And no, the tutorial is misleading because Debian packaging means doing it for Debian, while creating a deb package for your personal need is different. You also have Ubuntu packaging guides and so on.
