I'm not a big debian package expert but even installing debian packages on a similarly released Ubuntu system can be difficult. The best thing to try is add the source repositories to an apt.conf.d file then try using dpkg-buildpackage to build it. Again I'm not an expert so this may not be exactly the best or correct way to build a package.
