Sometimes you want to build, or at least rebuild some packages on the bubba, here is a short howto how you might do that:

Install some basic build packages:

apt-get install devscripts build-essential lsb-release

If you are only planning to rebuild a package, you can install required packages as following:
```
apt-get build-dep package
```
If you are building a new package, you might need to install required dependences manually
To download sources for a package, issue following:
```
apt-get source package
```
If it complains that there are no sources available, issue:
```
change_distribution marielle -us
```
```
apt-get update
```
To build a package, enter it's directory and issue:
```
debuild -us -uc
```
the paramters signal that we don't want to sign the result
When build is done you can install it by issuing as root:
```
debkg install package.deb
```
