I know it probably doesn't matter too much for internal use, but what does Lintian say about your packages?

Many bad things! I didn't check until now but it's a bunch of "non-standard-dir-perm" and "dir-or-file-in-var-www" and things like "maintainer-name-missing". I think it's possible to build correct debian package with FPM but for our use, we just want to build easily native deb package.

Of course it is possible, it's just ridiculous amount of work. It's much easier to build package with proper tools in the first place.
