In the best case, that will just work, and you'll have your new deb.
Otherwise, wipe that directory out and do the following:
apt-get source libpcap
cd {libpcap directory}
head debian/changelog # to find current version and revision
dch -v {incremented revision} # add comments for changes you've made
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc
That should work for you. Look at the debian/rules file in the
subdirectory of the source package - that's the Makefile for the deb.
