Hello

Have a look at the closed source maemo sdk installer script they
create .deb files
the script show that it's "easy" to create .deb files without needing
debian at all

http://repository.maemo.org/stable/bora/maemo-sdk-install_3.1.sh
I think this is the relevant section

It can be handy to add the right depends in the .deb file

I guess that with this knowledge you can create a nice python based
gui to create  packages , and package that so others can create
packages using a gui :P
