Instead of "make" use "make deb" and you will get cool debian packages.

Packages in Debian Etch:

~# aptitude install libssl-dev bison flex gcc make libmysqlclient15-dev 
libradiusclient-ng-dev build-essential libdb-dev libxml2-dev libldap2-dev 
libexpat1-dev libxmlrpc-c3-dev  libsnmp-dev dpkg-dev  fakeroot  dpatch 
debhelper  libpq-dev unixodbc-dev libperl-dev libconfuse-dev libdb4.4-dev 
xsltproc util-linux libcurl3-gnutls-dev


Modify Makefile to install in Etch instead of Sid (by default):
  deb:
        #ln -sf packaging/debian
        ln -sf packaging/debian-etch debian

If you need TLS enable it by editing "packages/debian/rules":
  TLS=yes

Compile:
  ~# make deb

It creates .deb packages in the parent directory (usually /usr/src). Install 
them (which you need) with "dpkg -i".

Edit /etc/default/openser:
  RUN_OPENSER=yes

Create DB tables (if needed):
  ~# openserdbctl create



Hope it helps.
