If your application is not distro specific, you should be able to have them install the application without needing to package it for Debian. Just tarball it and send it to them and have them untar it to the location they want it. Packaging an application in Debian just allows for a smooth install of an application that has multiple dependancies. It just saves somone from having to find and manually download all files sperately that one would need to install an application.

In otherwords, if your application requires certain libraries that the user does not have on their Debian system they will just need to download them seperately. Just be sure to tell them if your application needs to reference any libraries, or applications to run.
