Hi Joost, take an example from deb sources packages already published. Download these three files:
ftp://ftp.fr.postgresql.org/pgadmin3/release/debian/dists/etch/pgadmin/source/misc/pgadmin3_1.8.0-1~pgaoetch1.diff.gz ftp://ftp.fr.postgresql.org/pgadmin3/release/debian/dists/etch/pgadmin/source/misc/pgadmin3_1.8.0-1~pgaoetch1.dsc ftp://ftp.fr.postgresql.org/pgadmin3/release/debian/dists/etch/pgadmin/source/misc/pgadmin3_1.8.0.orig.tar.gz then dpkg-source -x *.dsc copy the pgadmin3-1.8.0/debian to the upstream source directory (it should be in a directory untitled pgadmin3-1.8.2) then cd pgadmin3-1.8.2 type dch -i to add a changelog entry and modify the version number to something like 1.8.2-xxx then dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot it should build quite straightforward. I know I'm late in releasing the package of 1.8.2 and I'm sorry about that.
