I heard some comments from #Linux #tech YouTubers lately that building #Debian packages was hard, so here's my take.

1) Create a directory laid out how you want the installed files to look. This structure will get mirrored to the system upon install.
2) In the staging folder create a DEBIAN folder with, at minimum, a "control" file in it with fields like app version and such.
3) Run "dpkg-deb --build FOO" where FOO is the name of your staging folder.

Done. Screenshots with captions attached.

VSCode is popular with many professional software developers, but my poll indicates that JetBrains IDE products are the most popular. However, JetBrains met with negativity recently when they added (forced) AI assistant to their products. While AI-powered services have been overhyped, they come with concerns about LLM's security, legal risk, privacy, and ethics.
