Let's start it from scratch. I managed to build a debian package, here
is what you have to do:
* create a fresh cvs snapshot
* cd gnokii
* mv packaging/Debian debian
* removing dh_installchangelogs lines from debian/rules
* run autogen.sh, you can stop it when configure starts to run (look
  into the script first to see everything is installed (e.g. gettextize,
  libtoolize, ...). It generates some important files, e.g. configure
* you can run fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage

Yes, /usr/lib/gnokii/gnokii will be the real binary.
