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.
