I have developed a customized slicer application using [SlicerCustomAppTemplate](https://github.com/KitwareMedical/SlicerCustomAppTemplate).

I want to package my app into a `.deb` file on `ubuntu18.04`, however, I have less knowledge about software packaging. So I am wondering is there any tutorial or template CMake Script that can let me know how to package the whole application?

We don’t make deb files for Slicer, but it seems cpack should support it.
