Hey guys. I haven't packaged anything specifically for Arch before, but I package applications for Windows/SCCM, so the concept is familiar to me. This is a whole different beast, however.
The drivers are available from source or as a .deb here.
Their wiki page is here.
Anyway, I tried making the package last night, but wasn't able to get any success, though my method was very... rudimentary.
I initially tried extracting the .deb, which yielded some directories named opt and usr. So, I figured, those probably get stuck in /usr and /opt. So I made the install step do that, and I stuck their one binary file in /usr/bin.
This didn't work; it was complaining about syntax errors in some python files they had in /opt.
At this point, I conked out and went to bed. Unfortunately, I had been messing around with this in a location mounted as tmpfs, and I was annoyed enough and considering switching to Lubuntu in my sorrow, so I just let it burn.
(The AUR is too good, can't leave Arch.)
So I'm here for help packaging this, and I guess tips on converting a .deb into an Arch package. Any help?

Arch uses python 3 as the default while most other distros use python 2.
In this package the python files contain
#!/usr/bin/env python
On Ubuntu this will call python 2, but on arch it will call python 3. You'll need to use sed to change all these lines to
#!/usr/bin/env python2
