I'm using : 1. dget -x [http/ftp url of .dsc file] 2. cd [packageFolder-xxx] 3. 'dch -i' - to adapt the changelog 4. dpkg-source -b packageFolder-xxx (this will generate the .dsc file for your package) 5. sudo pbuilder build <RecentlyGenerateddscFile> Of course there are tons of options in pbuilder to customize the packaging, but this is minimal to give you a go ahead :-) Hope this helps!
