oh, ok. We actually HAVE a declared way of building packages.
It just is not in deb-src. This is one example:
https://github.com/paskao/freepto-passwords-changer

We'll manage to add them, anyway (I think it's pretty easy to do it)

iirc, no compiled code in our packages

That's how we do it right now, but it seems so dirty. Most of all,
