Moving my project from Ant to Leiningen went so smoothly that I am looking at new things to include in the build process. one of which would be to automatically create a .deb and .rpm file in the build. What is the easiest way to do this?

I think your best bet would be to write your own Leiningen plugin for this (which I hear is pretty easy), or use the lein-scripts plugin and write a script/task for it.

It would be really great to have a lein plugin to help with this. Since it already uses maven under the hood, you could look into using the maven-unix-plugin (http://mojo.codehaus.org/unix/) which can build .deb and .rpm files. Otherwise if that looks annoying I don't think either package format is especially complex. You could probably do it by hand in Clojure, in which case maybe looking at some example Ruby Rake tasks would help. (http://rubyforge.org/projects/pallet/)
