	Get the Debian source package. This includes the .dsc file,
 the *.orig.tar.gz file, the *.diff.gz file. Put them in a directory.

	Unpack the sources with dpkg-source -x *.dsc (look at
 dpkg-source -h). If things don't unpack, this is a bug in the
 package.

	cd dir. Edit away and increase the buffer. Then do
 ./debian/rules binary. You should have the .deb file created for you

	This assumes you have dpkg-dev, and the gcc and things that
 are needed to compile packages. (unfortunately, source dependencies
 are not yet implemented, so I don't know exactly what you may need). 

	Hope this helps.

	manoj
