[Request] Bible Analyzer package

Question

I have tried doing the PKGBUILD myself but it came out horrible since I lack the experience to do it properly, could someone review it and change it so that it can be uploaded to AUR?

pkgver=4.1_0

arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
depends=('wxpython' 'python-espeak' 'python-configobj')
makedepends=('deb2targz')
source=(http://www.bibleanalyzer.com/${pkgname}_${pkgver//_/-}_i386.deb)
md5sums=('4d3ffb131220cd2db1cf514b9384515b')
build() {
cd ${srcdir}
# Convert the file
deb2targz ${pkgname}_${pkgver//_/-}_i386.deb
# Extract the file
tar xvzf ${pkgname}_${pkgver//_/-}_i386.tar.gz -C /
# Make it python2 compatible on a python3 system
sed -i 's/python/python2/g' /usr/bin/bibleanalyzer /usr/share/applications/bibleanalyzer.desktop
# Create the directories required
echo -en '\E[01;31m'"\033[1m
For the program to run you need to make sure you have the following directory:
mkdir /home/[user]/Documents
\033[0m"
echo
The package was originally designed for Ubuntu, hence the last part that the user should make sure he has a "Documents" folder.
On IRC (freenode #archlinux) I have been told:
* There is another way to extract the deb, so deb2targz is not needed?
* I should not extract the package directly to / but to $pkgdir?
* The comment on creating the directory should be appended somewhere else?
Could someone please review this and help me correct my obvious mistakes?
Thanks a million!
