Sure! Take a look at the debian/rules file from the 'gimp' package --
you can fetch the .orig.tar.gz, .dsc, and .diff.gz from
debian/dists/stable/main/source/gimp_1.0.0* on any Debian mirror.
You can then extract the source and apply the .diff.gz with the
following command:
dpkg-source -x gimp_1.0.0-1.dsc
Poke around in the gimp-1.0.0/debian/ directory, and read the rules
file in there. The gimp package creates a whole bunch of packages.
