It is indeed quite easy to generate Debian packages for your S-Lang
modules and I could not resist to give it a try.  Here is the package for
the histogram module:

    http://people.debian.org/~rafael/slhist/

I could not test it because the only example available is evt2img.

Notice that I had to apply the patch below in order to have a sane
installation:
