You can't build a .deb by just untarring the source and doing configure, make, make install. You have to get the source like this: apt-get source package-name Then cd to the directory that is created, and run dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot Please see http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-build.en.html.
