you might want to have a look at

	http://packaging.ubuntu.com/

where the first 3-4 articles should give you an idea of how to take a 
source(!) package, which files are relevant, how to build a binary(!) 
package from it, which files to modify, etc.

If you have any more questions, just ask on the list or on #ubuntu-motu 
on irc.freenode.net.

Have a great day,
  Daniel
