If you get the source .deb and unpack it, there will be a debian
subdirectory. Since you can build a binary .deb files from the source
.deb, I assume all the rules are there. Those rules do appear to
depend on additional deb tools though.
BTW, it would be good if anyone who packages UMFPACK arranges for the
include files to be installed in a subdirectory called "umfpack", so
we can use lines like
#include <umfpack/umfpack.h>
and not have to have extra configure goop to try to also handle
#include <umfpack.h>
(Since there appear to be a number of internal include files that go
along with umfpack.h, this seems like the cleanest solution anyway, to
avoid cluttering /usr/include).
Also, if might be nice if someone could also convice the UMFPACK
author(s) to surround the guts of umfpack.h with
#ifdef __cplusplus
#include <new>
extern "C" {
#endif
/* ... umfpack.h ... */
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
so people writing C++ can just include the umfpack.h file instead of
having to write
extern "C" {
#include <umfpack/umfpack.h>
}
