I used and can reccommend Running Linux 2nd Edition. If helped to read afterward the kernel-HOWTO and learn how to repackage a .deb file with dpkg-buildpackage. I also learned by example what files go IN a Debian package tree, mostlin the debian directory, etc. This made me able to make a debian package, albeit slowly. I imagine there are faster ways but I don't yet know them => You may never need this step, but I have discovered that anything not packaged you wish to install should be packaged locally to save headaches and make deinstallation easier.
