custom packages

["Michael Soulier" <msoulier@nortelnetworks.com>]

    Hey guys. What's the recommended method for custom Debian packages?

    Situation: I need xterm with logging enabled so I can log long builds at
work. No, script is not enough. 

    I would like to rebuild xterm from source and enable logging, but I'd like
to wrap it up in a Debian .deb file so that it's tracked by the packaging
system. 

    What's recommended here? 

    Thanks,

    Mike
