The basics to build a Debian binary from source are:
(Install the devscripts and build-essential packages)

dget http://some.where/something_1.0.dsc
dpkg-source -x something_1.0.dsc
cd something-1.0
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b
(If you need to install any packages, you will be told here. Do that and
repeat the previous step if this is the case.)

Now, after some automations, wah-lah, you should have the .deb(s) built
in alongside your .dsc file now.

The above is a pretty useful recipe -- it allows you to build binaries
from more-or-less any version of Debian/Ubuntu source packages (provided
the dependencies are well specified and can be met).
