Compiling .deb from source with additional parameters?

[Kenward Vaughan <kay_jay@earthlink.net>]

Hi,

I'd like to be able to compile a package from source (ghemical, FWIW) so
that I can add so additional parameters not normally included which will
enhance the app for my purposes.  The enhancements are part of the
upstream distribution (an interface with GAMESS).

Is there a way to do this using apt-get?  Something which might be done
in the middle of a sequence like:

	apt-get build-dep ghemical ; apt-get -b source ghemical

What would have to be added are the config parameters "--enable-gamess
--enable-shortcuts"

Thanks for any help with this!
