Sure you can.
apt-get --build source libmng1 (if you point at unstable)
else find libmng sources in the pool
pool/main/libm/libmng/libmng_1.0.1-1.diff.gz
" " libmng_1.0.1-1.dsc
" " libmng_1.0.1.orig.tar.gz
download
dpkg-source -x libmng_1.0.1-1.dsc
cd libmng-1.0.1
fakeroot debian/rules binary
cd ..
lintian *.deb
dpkg -i *.deb
