You may try apt-get source, patch the source and then do a
dpkg-buildpackage in the top source directory which will create a deb
package.
Don't have any experience  with patched sources though.
You can try looking a little more at apt-get source since I don't have
much experience with it.
You will need to add source lines to etc/apt/sources.list.
