How to create a .deb from binaries only?

How can I create a deb from binaries?

• I have a few binary files: foo, bar.so, and foo.lnk. I want to make a deb that will extract foo to /usr/share/foo/foo, bar to that same directory, and foo.lnk to /usr/share/applications. I dont want to include any source and there are a few dependencies that I need to make sure are installed. I've found some resources such as http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/how-to-create-deb-package-ubuntu-debian.html and https://wiki.debian.org/IntroDebianPackaging . The problem is that they are guides meant to include the source. Furthermore, I really dont understand how I specify where to extract certain files to.

• Answer:

  I found a relativly simple way to do it, all thats missing from that are how to run the pre-install and post-install scripts. (And if theres a way to add an uninstall script). http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=910717
