a) use 'script'. Just type 'script' at a prompt. You will be given back your
prompt. Everything you type will be saved to a file and can be viewed later.
b) once apt has downloaded the source, you should be able to enter the
directory and do it by hand. The command you likely want is 'dpkg-buildpackage
-rfakeroot -us -uc'. Make sure you have the package 'fakeroot' installed.
