The intended use of such a newly created archive is to install it only on your own box, not to get them into the official Debian distribution. To follow the 'official' process, please study the .:: ml007.k12.sd.us ::. .:: telescope.ac ::. Debian New Maintainers' Guide.
Normal Debian packages get a proper source package, including a debian/rules file which automates the steps involved in creating the binary package. Here we just show how to package a simple shell script or binary executable into a small binary package.
BTW, I assume you know how to use 'tar', 'man', and what a '.tar.gz' file and Debian is (and how to use an editor ;-), but I assume you have never touched programs like 'ar' or 'dpkg'. .:: www.slideshare.net ::. .:: www.prestashop.com ::. [Developer Guide: Functional programming] .:: telegra.ph ::.
The Debian Reference gives an excellent overview as well as detailed information for everything Debian specific.
The official document for creating your own Debian packages is the .:: addons.mozilla.org ::. [Scientific Data: Natural language processing] Debian New Maintainers' Guide.
