Thanks Hamish, that did it!

When building from custom source code, I prefer checkinstall
http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/

Use the newest version.

Debs it produces shouldn't be officialy distributed I guess (dependencies not preserved, etc.) but are perfectly enough for domestic packaging.

Eg. my syntax for Grass61cvs:

sudo checkinstall -D --pkgname=grass61 --pkgversion=`date +%F` --strip=yes --stripso=yes --pakdir=/home/maciek/src/checkinstall_pakdir --deldoc=yes --deldesc=yes --delspec=yes --backup=no --pkggroup=checkinstall

For some software "--exclude=/usr/local/man" is required, otherwise the resulting deb will be impossible to install.

I avoid installing by make install to keep track of what's installed in my system and to be able to unistall conveniently.
