I've uploaded the Debian control files used to create the .deb packages.
To create a .deb for your platform download and unpack the source as usual:

$ wget http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/zero-install/zeroinstall-injector-0.17.tar.gz.gpg
$ gpg zeroinstall-injector-0.17.tar.gz.gpg
$ tar xzf zeroinstall-injector-0.17.tar.gz

Then download and unpack the debian files:

$ cd zeroinstall-injector-0.17
$ wget http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/zero-install/debian-src.tgz
$ tar xzf debian-src.tgz 

Then build the .deb:

$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

This will create a .deb in the parent directory. Send it to me and I'll
upload it. Thanks,
