Smiting Debian packaging instructions that did not work

Ansible Debian Package
======================
To create an Ansible DEB package:
sudo apt-get install cdbs debhelper dpkg-dev git-core reprepro
git clone git://github.com/ansible/ansible.git
cd ansible
make deb
The debian package file will be placed in the `../` directory. This can then be added to an APT repository or installed with `dpkg -l`.
Note that `dpkg -i` does not resolve dependencies
I have added a debian folder for use in building a .deb file for ansible. From the ansible directory you can run the following command to construct a debian package of ansible.
~/ansible$ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot
The debian package files will be placed in the ../ directory and can be installed with the following command:
~/$ sudo dpkg -i .deb
Dpkg -i doesn't resolve dependencies, so if the previous command fails because of dependencies, you will need to run the following to install the dependencies (if needed) and then re-run the dpkg -i command to install the package:
$ sudo apt-get -f install
