- getting the source package (.dsc, .orig.tar.gz and .diff.gz) from here
 http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/nut
- install the build toolchain (gcc, make, ...) andautotools-dev fakeroot
dh-make build-essential devscripts
- unpack the source package: dpkg-source -x *.dsc
- from the build dir: debuild -us -uc
- you'll be warned of the missing prerequisites
- once built successfully, your debs will be in the parent dir.
