Have a look at dh-make.  I use it to build debian packages when the
source is available and there is no Debian package available.
-----------------------------------------
$ wajig show dh-make
Package: dh-make

Description: tool that converts source archives into Debian package source
 This package allows you to take a standard (or upstream) source package and convert it into a format that will allow you to build Debian packages. 
 
 After answering a few questions, dh_make will then provide a set of templates that, after some small editing, will allow you to create a Debian package.
