It may be easier following previous debian package (Successful compile).

Read packaging-manual

Whem you make debian package, do not just "make" but use packaging command
If you are building package named "package"
Do something like following

$ dpkg-source -x package.dsc
$ cd package
 ... make changes for your needs
# ./debian/rules binary
# cd ..
# dpkg -i packagefile.deb

For gohstscript, original packager had many instructions for potato
package what to do.  I got tired and did not do thing on recompilation.

Good luck.
