I'm an Ex-RPM person newly landed in the Debian Universe and totally
bewildered by the packaging stuff.

Can someone point me at some tutorials and references for the package tools.
Specifically:

Everything I've found so far is either too newbie-oriented and too light on

TIA

You can check out the debian APT howto. You'll find a pointer to this
howto, along with other interesting pointers, on this page:
