My normal build target is Ubuntu and hence I want to generate .deb files in order to distribute my application. The Debian Package Manager does not actually mandate use of makefiles - but it is built around the makefile concept and I have only ever seen examples of use based on makefiles.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. It's pretty intimidating but I guess I need to try since it appears to do what I want. You said I can call external scripts which is pretty interesting also because I may have some edge cases with macOS stuff.
