just run:

fakeroot apt-get -b source modutils

if that doesn't work use the two step method:

apt-get source modutils
cd modutils-2.2.23 (or whatever)
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

that will build a .deb that depends on potato glibc and not woody
glibc.

this worked quite nicely on the one box i have running 2.4.0-test12
