Google is always your Friend :p

Here's the Debian Guide, I've been reading it myself and just created a package successfully :)

Hi,
do you know if it's possible to download the guide as a ps or pdf file? Or, the same, if it's possible to create out of an html page?

Thanks,
MC

I found two guides on Google, one was too way limited and the other too complex. Your's are exactly what I need. Thanks

If you're looking for offline viewing, then there's a maint-guide package that u can install from synaptic (Docs/Universe).

In general, you should be able to open the HTML page in OpenOffice and then Export it to pdf, though you may need to figure out a way to get all the pages in a single pdf.

I wanted to know... how does one create the -dev packages? Is there some specific way to do that? Can't seem to find it out (or I dont know what to look for)

Building library packages is more complicated than making binaries.

Thanks, though I didnt really find how to do it there... anyway, I've found the dev package of what I wanted, so its ok. :)
