I tell you how to build the local package:

  # apt-get install fakeroot
  # apt-get build-dep fileutils
  $ apt-get source fileutils
  $ cd fileutils-4.1
    (Modify the source as you like.)
  $ dch -v 4.1-10+local.1
  $ debuild -rfakeroot -uc -us
  $ cd ..
  # dpkg -i fileutils_4.1-10+local.1_i386.deb

  (`#' is root's prompt.  I suggest sudo or su.)
