I didn't understand what you were saying until Jeremy 
replied...

The whole point of using `dpkg-buildpackage` is that it'll 
create a .deb package to install:

   $ dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us
   $ sudo dpkg -i ../so-synth-lv2_1_i386.deb

And this will install thing using your system's package 
manager.  Uninstall with `dpkg -r so-synth-lv2` or `apt-get 
remove so-synth-lv2` or use one of the graphical software 
package managers supplied with your system.

..of course, this assumes that your on a debian-like OS.  If 
you're on an RPM-style OS (Fedora, SuSe)... then making the 
.deb package was a waste of time.  :-/
