dpkg-raw used this:

https://github.com/ilbers/isar/blob/master/doc/user_manual.md#compilation-of-sources-missing-the-debian-directory
("Create rules file if sources does not contain a rules file")

What we are missing in our docs is a link from
https://github.com/ilbers/isar/blob/master/doc/user_manual.md#packages-without-source
to the debianize mechanism.

However, update-alternatives is a postinst topic, nothing for rules as
the latter runs during package build while you want something after
package installation.
