I don't have packages, but I do sometimes make my own, which usually
takes about ten minutes:

- run ./autogen.sh
- do a "make dist". this should give you a tar file with a version
  number
- unpack the tarfile somewhere
- run dh_make
- add "--sysconfdir=/etc" to the configure step and
  "sysconfdir=`pwd`/debian/tmp/etc" to the make install step
- do "fakeroot debian/rules binary"
 
Works for most autoconf based packages. Sometimes the "make dist" target
is not up to date and it doesn't work or you miss some files. Then you
can always copy the cvs tree to a name with a version number in it.
