+The process of building a package on Debian GNU/Linux is similar to Arch
+Linux. It's so similar in fact that the Arch Linux PKGBUILD also works on
+Debian GNU/Linux.
+
+First, install `makedeb`[4]. You can then run the following command:
+
+```
+$ makedeb
+```
+
+There will also be another way to build a Debian GNU/Linux package without
+using `makedeb`.
