[maemo-developers] Generated .deb package doesn't contain the executable file (was SPIM ported to Chinook)

Hi all,

some months ago I created a .deb package for SPIM (Mips emulator:
http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~larus/spim.html ) and now I would like to
create it for Chinook too.

To create the package I followed this howto:
http://maemo.org/development/documentation/how-tos/4-x/creating_a_debian_package.html

This is the generated debian/control file: http://pastebin.ca/781435
this is the SPIM Makefile: http://pastebin.ca/781447
and this is the generated debian/rules: http://pastebin.ca/781444

After generating the .deb files and after I install it, the main
executable file is not shipped with the package. This is the list of
the files contained into the package:

[sbox-CHINOOK_ARMEL: ~] > dpkg -L spim
/.
/usr
/usr/sbin
/usr/bin
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/spim
/usr/share/doc/spim/copyright
/usr/share/doc/spim/README
/usr/share/doc/spim/README.Debian
/usr/share/doc/spim/changelog.Debian.gz

how can I fix this problem?

Thanks for your help :)
