Ken,

If what you have seems to work well, I'd be interested.
I've also seen and installed checkinstall, but I've not
actually used it more than once or twice.  I'd be interested
in the steps you performed to create the packagesm including
the checkinstall stuff.  I'm always up for learning something
I haven't done yet.

Thanks!
Brian
