It's not perfect (for example it doesn't use the new syntax, single
binary syntax, etc.) but it seems to work fine (package wise).

Here are the instructions:

====== Build Puppet 2.6 RC2 Debian Packages ======

Prerequisites
  apt-get install build-essential devscripts

Install needed dependencies
  apt-get build-dep puppet

Prepare directory structure
  cd
  mkdir -p build/puppet
  cd build/puppet

Download the needed Debian source files from the latest version, and
latest version of puppet
  wget 
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/puppet/puppet_0.25.5-1.debian.tar.gz
  wget http://puppetlabs.com/downloads/puppet/puppet-2.6.0rc2.tar.gz

Rename the Puppet tar file to Debian style
  mv puppet-2.6.0rc2.tar.gz puppet_2.6.0rc2.orig.tar.gz

Extract the tar files
  tar zxvf puppet_2.6.0rc2.orig.tar.gz
  tar zxvf puppet_0.25.5-1.debian.tar.gz -C puppet-2.6.0rc2

Update the changelog
  cd puppet-2.6.0rc2
  dch -v 2.6.0rc2-1

Remove the old patches
  mv debian/patches /tmp

Build the Debian packages
  dpkg-buildpackage
