This is no problem. Debian supports building packages on your own, with 
your own change set.

In general you do: (# as root/sudo, $ as user)
# apt-get update
# apt-get install build-essential # Compilers, linker, -dev stuff
$ apt-get source <package>
$ apt-get build-dep <package>
$ cd <packagename>-<current verion>
$ -> do your changes
$ dch -i # update package version so it won't be overwritten on update
$ debuild # or dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
$ cd ..
# dpkg -i <newbuilt package.deb>

Share and enjoy!

The Debian Reference[0] and the New Maintainers Guide[0.5] will help 
you. Short explanation at Building Custom Debian Packages[1]
