Sure, but in the future please considering sending this to a wider
audience such as the pcp mailing list ( pcp@xxxxxxxxxxx ). There is
a much greater amount of combined expertise on the list.

Sounds like you should use the include Makepkgs script. Assuming you
have all the proper dependencies, it should build your .debs

I suppose one could invoke the rc scripts we provide manually. Due to
PCP's architecture there is commonly more than one service running based
on your desired setup/functionality. More specificity on what
functionality is desired would be helpful.
