You untar it, and cd into the package source directory first.  You
might want to add -b, too, which means "build a binary package only,
don't need a source package".  One tricky bit with the 0.26 release in
particular is that I had to munge the debian version because I messed
up the versions on the pre packages, so the debian package is actually
version "0.26.0", not "0.26".  So dpkg-buildpackage will be happier if
you rename the build directory from "monotone-0.26" to
"monotone-0.26.0".

There's also pre-built debs for both x86 and amd64, on both sid and
sarge, on the web site :-).
