Rebuilding Debian packages
APT-GET SOURCE RECIPE by Frederik Dannemare
# 1)
# Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to be able to fetch .deb sources (deb-src).
# Example, see below:
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
# 2)
# You'll need some dev packages for rebuilding .deb sources:
sudo apt-get install dh-make debhelper debmake dpkg-dev devscripts
# 3)
# Now do the whole rebuilding thing:
mkdir -p ~/src/debian
cd ~/src/debian
sudo apt-get source foobar
sudo apt-get build-dep foobar
cd foobar-x.y.z
# tweak 'rules' and other files to your liking...
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc
sudo dpkg -i ../foobar_[version].deb
