Thank you for responding, Mechtilde!

I packaged software 20 years ago as a Debian package at my former
workplace. IIRC, it was just a bunch of shell and Python scripts,
maybe a few binaries. Back then I had to scale rolling out software on
a fleet of machines. I basically like to do the same again, and I'm
looking for good examples.

Yep, I understand. But is there a way to install software without sudo
or being root? E.g. when my package installs software only in a
location where it has write access. The scenario is, I have users that
must install the software on a managed machine. The system
administrators manage the operating system as such, the users install
and run their software in user space.
