Actually, in the latest version of apt they made this much easier! You can
now use a deb-src line in your sources.list, and then use "apt-get
--compile source packagename" then apt should download the sources and try
to compile them for you (you'll still need the proper -dev packages,
remember)
i can't give you more pointers than that though, as i haven't yet tried
this feature...
