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. :-/
