Modify the source as you feel appropriate, add a new entry to the top
of debian/changelog, and run 'debuild' out of the devscripts package.
Read documentation on http://www.debian.org/devel/.


Maybe I should ask a more primitive question.


What is 'deb-src' for?

I thought it was to provide the source code of a deb package and allow the end user to subsequently build a CPU specific or slightly modified (configuration parameters) .deb file for installation onto their own Debian installation.
