Yes, it is surprisingly easy.  I've made a few myself.

Post them, I'll try them for you.

Another thing you might like to look into is setting yourself up a
Launchpad PPA (personal package archive), where you put the .deb files,
and then this makes it somewhat easier for Ubuntu users to install and
then track the updates to your package.

Making it easier is what software is all about.  The Ubuntu PPA users
generally need to click on a link and then agree to what is proposed,
then they are off and downloading.  Next step is starting the
application from the menus.
