Basically, yes. Itʼs nothing more than a wrapper around apt-get,
dpkg-buildpackage, etc.
By all means you are free to use them directly, if you are more familiar with
that.
FWIW, there is also apt(-get) source --compile.

It follows the same rules as any other apt-tool: defaults to the latest version
from the current target release, and you can override the latter with -t TARGET
switch or NAME/TARGET notation. E. g.:
# aptitude -t sid build-dep hello
$ apt -t sid source --compile hello

All deb-src should be specified in advance, of course.

Yes, you perhaps would like to upgrade not gnupg2 only, but all software that
comes from gnupg.org (npth, libassuan, etc), even if APT says dependencies are
fine otherwise.

If you are going to use APT, it will either work like a charm or bump against
dependencies that unresolvable without upgrading the whole system. I am still
leaning to bet on the latter, though.
