The old X11 uses "make World" instead of configure. It was based on imake. The forthcoming release (X11R7) will be autotooled, using ./configure and friends. Go into xprint-0.1.0.alpha1/build-tree/xc (if it doesn't exist, then run "debian/rules binary" from ../xprint-0.1.0.alpha1, and stop with Ctrl-C once it tells you it's unpacked the source and has started the compilation (gcc ...) lines.) Then run "make World" from that xc directory. But you don't really have to do that if you already have dpkg-buildpackage working. Instead, just comment out the dh_strip line in debian/rules (l.81), and let dpkg-buildpackage (or debian/rules binary) do it for you. Keep versioning consistent by adding your own debian/changelog entry (add a .1 e.g. 1:0.1.0.alpha1-12.1), dch (package devscripts) is handy for this. So, the easiest thing for recompiling is just to comment out the dh_strip line in debian/rules. If you want to run your locally built binary, it's at xprint-0.1.0.alpha1/build-tree/xc/programs/Xserver and gets copied to xprint-0.1.0.alpha1/debian/tmp/xprint/install/usr/X11R6/bin/Xprt.
