The problem-du-jour here is that gnome-core depends on gtkhtml which depends on
an
unreleased version of libcapplet (1.3.0, 1.2.2 has been the available source
version
of control-center for over a week, so I guess it's the problem-du-semaine :-).
There
isn't even a control-center 1.3.0 in incoming. I think this is really bad
packaging
practice, and have just filed a strongly-worded "important" severity bug
(#76300).
Thanks for the apt-get source tutorial. One detail:

or "fakeroot apt-get -b source package" will build the package(s) for an
ordinary user
too.
