Can you at least say HOW to create debian package?

[hkmaly]

Hello,

if you can't provide newer debian package, can you at least provide instructions how to do it?

I realize this may be basic debian knowledge not specific to this package, but I'm unable to find anything on google: debian utilities like dch or dpkg-buildpackage are complaining that version number @Version@-@Release@ doesn't start with number. Obviously, this is supposed to be resolved to real number using some other command, possibly make, but I have no idea what command should that be and I don't want to risk filling it manually because I have no idea what else is that command supposed to do.
