I use the debian/ directory created for the Debian distro.
If you have a Debian distro avalaible, you can do "apt-get source
package" 
That will download the source code modified by the Debian developers,
with its debian/ directory inside.

If you don't have a Debian distro. The easiest way would be searching
the package in http://packages.debian.org 
Download the .tar.gz, the .dsc and .diff.gz files. With these files in
the same directory, in scrachtbox you can do "dpkg-source -x
filename.dsc" This will create a directory with the library/program
and with their respective debian/ directory.

- From there you can edit the files inside debian/ in the way you want.
But generally doing dpkg-buildpackage work (if you have all dependences
installed)

BTW, if you want I post debian/rules and debian/control, there isn't
problem.

Cheers.
