Yes, when you create a debian package you can install pretty much 
anything with the file /package/debian/package.install

if you aren't going to do any compiling at all then you'll also want to 
edit /package/debian/rules and comment out anything to do with make etc.

If you'd like me to build an example package and .tar.gz it and upload 
it somewhere so that you can just change names and so on then I can 
probably do that although it's probably better if you read the developer 
and maintainer guides on debian.org
