I hastily went through all the post with this subject and didn't notice anyone
suggesting:

apt-get install checkinstall

apt-get install auto-apt

I noticed that auto-apt has been around a while and was an orphan too, yet I see it
is still in the docs and the cache and is de rigueur' for checkinstall.

These two packages are supposed to make building from source a simple pleasure.
