Why do not use apt-build ? you use it  as  apt-get,  (apt-build  update,
apt-build upgrade, apt-build install) and he  will  automatically  fetch
the package from  the  deb-src  from  you  sources.list  and  builds  it
according to your _REAL_ architecture, put it in a local repository  and
installs it...
