ultimate goal -- debian source package

since you are using cmake (and as Michael pointed in a year ago thread)
packaging should be quite straightforward... you can go through few
tutorials available online (links below) or just see how packaging was
done (content of debian/) for other packages we maintain, e.g. Michael's
fslview which uses cmake:
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-exppsy/fslview.git
(just build yours against qt4 not discontinued qt3)

Alternatively here is another one which might be similar and a bit
freshier: http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-exppsy/libgdf.git
etc

so -- tutorials... let me just quote my reply elsewhere:

    well -- usually it starts with dh_make ;)  alternatively you can look at
    sources of any other similar package (apt-get source NAME   should get
    the sources for you -- look into debian/ directory inside) and
    proceed in similar fashion constructing your debian/ .  Also please skim
    through Lucas' tutorial on debian packaging
    http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/blog/?p=676 to get a generic sense of it
    and tools which are in use

    also for generic topics please glance over our recent blog post
    http://neuro.debian.net/blog/2011/2011-08-23_getting_stuff_packaged.html
    although I think those issues (versioning/licensing) do not
    concern you already ;-)

    to better assist you,  please let me know: do you have a
    Debian-based system anywhere? otherwise what distro are you using
    usually?
