Use the provided debian package source. This should build nicely. Get the debget package and do debget <package>. Then run dpkg-source foo.dsc. Then cd into source directory and run dpkg-buildpackage as roto or use fakeroot/sudo. This will make deb packages just as if you had downloaded them. You can tweak the contined make files of course.
