Example

import deb from 'itc-debtool';

// initialize the package generator
let pkg = new deb.Package({

    // the build directory (the package payload)
    input: '/path/to/myproject/build',

    // the package file will be created in this directory
    output: '/path/to/myproject',

    // include timestamp in package filename?
    // if truthy, the value must be the timestamp value (anything you want)
    timestamp: false,

    // .deb package compression
    compression: {
        algo: 'bzip2',
        level: 9,
    },

    debian: {

        // see https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html

        }),
