Looking at the ITP[1], the notes on building packages were based on the
IntroDebianPackaging[2] wiki page.  That wiki page is good to learn
about the internals of a package but for actually building a package for
real the 'dh_make' route is recommended rather than building from
scratch.  I recommend having a look at the Packaging[3] wiki page, using
git for packaging and sbuild for building.  For wheezy and later, have a
look at the packaging-tutorial package[4] or PDF[5].
