I've had the most success with sbuild environments.  This is one of the best
pages that describe how to set things up:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/BuildEnvironment

You can probably ignore the info on UMT.  That's fairly specialized to the
security team's workflow, and while it's interesting (and I thank them for the
demo at our last sprint!) I haven't found a need for it.  I use the sbuilds
all the time though and together with 'bzr bd -S', it's a really great way to
build binary packages locally.
