The scheme I put in place while working on NSLS2 had two parts.  Debian
packages for widely used epics modules (eg. streamdevice).  In practice
this were the pieces that didn't change frequently.  Some of the locally
developed code was packaged, but not all.

The other part was running IOCs.  This was done using procServ and the
scripts in the 'sysv-rc-softioc' package (see installed README).

These two parts were joined by having a convention of placing IOC
instances in "/epics/iocs/<instance>/...".  Typically this was a VCS
checkout which built the final IOC executable.  This step was managed by
individual controls engineers.

I hope this is helpful for you.
