The policy says:
# 4.9. Main building script: `debian/rules'
# -----------------------------------------

# This file must be an executable makefile, and contains the
# package-specific recipes for compiling the package and building binary
# package(s) from the source.

Because of the following requirement, it's not that easy.
It can be done, here's an example how to use a JIT C compiler (tcc)
this way:
dget http://angband.pl/debian/pool/main/g/goodbye/goodbye_0.2-1.dsc
although you might have trouble smuggling this through the FTPmasters :p
On the other hand, one of fresh DDs already thanked me for this example,
so be afraid. Be very afraid.
Hope this helps :)
