If you would prefer to be able to remove the build dependencies afterwards
easily, you  could do (assuming one has devscripts and gdebi installed):

     mk-build-deps
     sudo gdebi install <the generated .deb file>
     sudo dpkg -i <the generated .deb file>
     rm <the generated .deb file>

     ^^ this step would only be needed if you were applying a patch
not already in the Debian packaging; if the patch is part of the packaging
this step could be skipped.

Add -jN to enable parallel builds if you have a modern CPU (N=7 is quite good
for basic Intel i-era chips, or quad core 2 duos).  This can massively speed
up building and rebuilding packages.

You probably also needed build-essential.
