It occurs to me that you might simply want to build *other people's*
packages from source on Debian. The way you normally do that is:
apt-get -b source pkgname
If you've already got the package source downloaded and extracted (e.g.
via apt-get source pkgname) and you've modified it and now you want to
build a package out of it, then you simply use:
dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot
inside the pkgname-version/ subdirectory. But reading the NMG is still
not a bad idea.
