I use Debian Sid, which is similar though not identical to Ubuntu. I
haven't tried to make a .deb file, which seems like an unnecessary
complication. I simply got the tarball from suckless.org, unpacked it in
my bome directory, and did "sudo make install" which went off without
problems. The executable is installed in /usr/local/bin by default.
There is a precompiled dwm.deb package available for Debian, but of
course that doesn't let you configure anything, so it's really only
useful if you just want to see how dwm works.
