Use the provided debian package source. This should build nicely. Get the
debget package and do debget <package>. Then run dpkg-source foo.dsc. Then cd
into source directory and run dpkg-buildpackage as roto or use fakeroot/sudo.
This will make deb packages just as if you had downloaded them.
You can tweak the contined make files of course.
