How do you rebuild a Debian package from source _with_ local
modifications?

The instructions I've seen all extract source (original plus
patches) and build in one step, not giving a chance to make
local edits.

apt-get source <package> will download the package source and the debian specific patches, uncompress the package and apply the patches. Then you can perform whatever edits you want before running either 'fakeroot debian/rules binary' or 'dpkg-buildpackage' in the source tree
