Oh, I don´t feel your message was placed wrongly here.
A few days ago, I wanted the same, and made a package myself.
For this, I refered to two older posts on this list (snipped):
| From: Brian Servis <servis@purdue.edu>

| The source packages come in .tar.gz, .diff and .dsc.(no diff if it is a
| native Debian program)
|
| The easiest way is to get the apt v 0.3.11 from
| http://www.debian.org/~jgg and add the following to your
| /etc/apt/sources.list:
|
| deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free
|
| Then cd to some directory like /usr/local/src and issue the following
|
| apt-get update
| apt-get --compile source textutils
(instead of "textutils", you would of course write "gnupg")
The apt v 0.3.11 is for slink at this location.
Unfortunately, apt-get failed for me at the update stage (yet unresolved,
maybe my proxy), but you should have no problem, I guess.
If you prefer doing it by hand (or have problems with the above), read
this post:

|
| 1) Download the source components into the directory of your choice.
| There should be either two or three files: *.orig.tar.gz, *.dsc, and
| *.diff.gz (not present if it's a "native" Debian package).
|
| 2) Enter the command "dpkg-source -x <packagename>.dsc". This will
| unpack the source into the <packagename> directory, which will be
| created.
|
| 3) Go into the unpacked source directory, and issue the command
| "debian/rules build".
|
| 4) Issue the command "fakeroot debian/rules binary".
| Assuming that you
| have all of the necessary development packages installed, your
| debfile will be created in the parent directory.
HTH,
Colin
PS: I see you are using (p)gnus: how would you conveniently make
detached signatures with GnuPG? Mailcrypt v3.5.4 (which already
supports GnuPG) doesn´t handle this, only clearsigned ones :-(
I don´t want to switch my MUA!
