Short (and incomplete) answer:

    $ dpkg --build

See the Debian Policy Manual (available from the Debian Documentation
Project website or as a package) for more information on structure.  You
can also pick apart an existing package to see how it's put together.
'man dpkg' for more info.

I'm not sure how the dependency information is built.

http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkg_basics.html#s-sourcebuild

Note you can retrieve sources with, for package 'foo':

    $ apt-get source foo

Cheers.
