I should mention that this isn't something I'm doing for a particular set of people.
I just have a lot of time on my hands these days and a friend and I wanted to write a program that documents things for an admin automatically. I do a bit of freelance sys admin work from time to time and a lot of servers are either not documented at all or badly documented. I know this sounds a little ambitious but maybe I can start with something very small and build it up over a couple years.
Yeah, you're definitely right about configure being very customizable...but I don't know how to work around this.
You said configure is usually told where to install things. What tells it where to install things? Better yet, can you tell me where I can read more about building an installable source for Linux so that I understand what exactly goes on during the 'configure', 'make' and 'make install' process?
Regarding tracking services, watching /var/run is a reliable way to determine if a service was started, right? Or does this path also depend on what starup manager I'm using?
Thanks.

dh_auto_configure
DH_AUTO_CONFIGURE(1) Debhelper DH_AUTO_CONFIGURE(1)
NAME
dh_auto_configure - automatically configure a package prior to building
SYNOPSIS
dh_auto_configure [buildsystemoptions] [debhelperoptions] [--params]
DESCRIPTION
dh_auto_configure is a debhelper program that tries to automatically configure a package prior to building. It does so by running the
appropriate command for the build system it detects the package uses. For example, it looks for and runs a ./configure script,
Makefile.PL, Build.PL, or cmake. A standard set of parameters is determined and passed to the program that is run. Some build systems, such
as make, do not need a configure step; for these dh_auto_configure will exit without doing anything.
This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work, you're encouraged to skip using dh_auto_configure at all, and just
run ./configure or its equivalent manually.
OPTIONS
See "BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS" in debhelper(7) for a list of common build system selection and control options.
-- params
Pass params to the program that is run, after the parameters that dh_auto_configure usually passes. For example:
dh_auto_configure -- --with-foo --enable-bar
SEE ALSO
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
