Indeed one has to change debian/control to add the correct build-deps and to 
change debian/rules to call scons and to copy the correct files. Does scons 
has the equivalent of make install ? That would facilitate de content of 
debian/rules, because otherwise all files have to be copied into 
debian/usr/... by this file when building the package.
