Linux 64 and 32 bit packages for latest vdrift

1) I have a small problem:
the script that was given as an example for building DEBs from scons processes every single file, but I don't know how to cope with so many files under a deep tree: there are over 1000 files here and lumping them together in a single file just doesn't cut it for me. If I am to finish this I believe I should build a list of files in every single folder:
just as SConscript main file calls data/SConscript which in turn calls data/carparts/SConscript, which in turn calls... ok I guess people can figure the rest I should call a subscript in every folder.... or maybe I can build the DEBFILES array in every single SConscript in every subfolder gather them arround and process them at in the end file.

Don't rely too much on my work: I'm just learning Python, SCons and DEB packages as I go (ok I had build 2 example DEB packages but that's hardly a deep experience)

2) The debhelper option is good too, but I just didn't figure out how to do it, where to find files and stuff (the build folder only contains binary files, I didn't find the data/carparts folder at first). Maybe you will like to test the checkinstall utility for building DEB packages, as it's very wizzard-like.

Maybe I could help building the debhelper version too if you could help finding where some files go when installing: where does the documentation files go?

3) Ok, I just found that the tools folder contains Deb packaging files from 2006.
I'll try to see if I can figure something out of it (although old I hope most of the info is still valid).
