You can't do that for packages in the Debian archive, which (apart from
non-free) must build non-interactively from source.
If it's just for private use, then there's no HOWTO for it because it's
easier than the normal case. :) Just have a "source" package full of
binaries and make debian/rules copy those into the temporary build
directory.
