Well actually I never looked at where your packages put stuff. But an
example of the kind of trouble is the logs in etc/freeside/, although
simple to change this is just one example and there seem to be lots.

Usually when I package something you just do configure --prefix=/usr &&
make install DESTDIR=/home/jason/<application name>/debian/tmp/usr

With freeside I've had to write all sorts of shell code to munge stuff.
