Since then I decided to do 2 things.

1.  Changed where things install:  Instead of just dumping to /var/www/ the
site goes to /usr/share/mobilemyth/web/, configs to /etc/mobilemyth and
logs to /var/log/mobilemyth.  With this I can also peel out the cron jobs
where I have told people to make curl requests to certain pages and make
them proper stand alone executables than can sit in /usr/share/mobilemyth.

2. Changed over to use dpkg-buildpackage vs rolling my own with my own
scripts.  I was hoping this would help me doing things more correct and
efficiently.

So have have all the code changes and packaging setup to handle all the
different directories and such and everything works except I end up with an
empty /etc/mobilemyth directory.  No apache.conf.  I played with it for
about 4 hours last night trying to figure out what I was doing wrong
without luck.

The debian/install consists of
src/etc/mobilemyth/ etc
src/usr/share/mobilemyth/ usr/share
src/var/log/mobilemyth/ var/log

I've tried a billion variations.  Some of them I end up with apache.conf in
a directory of apache.conf.

I can see that when I run dpkg-buildpackage that it is copying the
apache.conf from the source directory into it's copy in the correct
location ( debian/mobilemyth/etc/mobilemyth/apache.conf
).  I also see that it is adding it as an entry
under debian/mobilemyth/DEBIAN/conffiles  not sure if that is causing it to
break or what.

In summary I took something that was pretty much working and made a mess of
it all.
