What do I do about path names in the rules file?
What rules do I actually need to build the .deb file?

Ok, I found the answer to this in the Debian Policy Manual

I have not created a separate Makefile to build the program. Do I need one, or
can I just use the rules file to handle this?

It looks like don't need one, if I structure the rules file accordingly

How do I set the install path, ownership and attributes of the hello binary in
the source file, so that this information is forwarded to the resulting binary
file?

Ok, I am still researching this.

Regards,

Mark.
