Thanks for advice - I have removed all problems pointed by lintian.

Removed.

I also managed to create private repository.
Now anyone using Debian with architecture amd64 can add
following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://www.bogomips.w.tkb.pl . . 
deb-src http://www.bogomips.w.tkb.pl . . 

(there are two dots separated by space)
then `apt-get update && apt-get install python-pycuda`
and PyCUDA should be installed.

With Ubuntu there can be problem with missing package
libcuda1 - but I would like for someone to try it
nonetheless (just download *.deb files and dpkg -i *.deb)
and report whether packages are working.


Regards.
