If you renamed your GOG archive, the script will not find it automatically. You have to give it the path to the archive as an argument in order for it to work. This can allow you to run the script without the need to copy the archive around.
Here is an example:  
You can set different options while running these scripts to define some of its behaviour. Here comes the list of these options, with the default option in bold characters.

CHECKSUM=md5,none
By default, the script will check the archive integrity through md5sum. If you want to bypass this check for any reason, set this option to none while launching the script:  
COMPRESSION=none,gzip,xz
By default, the final .deb package is built without compression to speed up the building process and the package installation. You can use DPKG built-in support of gzip or xz compression by setting this option to the adequate value:  
PREFIX=/usr/local,any absolute path
By default, the .deb package will install the game data under /usr/local. If you want to install it under another path, you can by setting this option to the relevant path. Only an absolute path can be defined this way.

2014-06-11 Update:
A new script for the GOG release 1.6.0.9 of Shadowrun: Dragonfall has been added (game version 2.0.0.9)
It uses easier-to-read feedbacks compared to the previous versions, thanks to Urnoev advices.
