Thank you, it was very instructive!

The result of the described magic would be a .deb package, correct?

Next I would like to publish those tweaked and local packages in a local
repository in a corporate intranet, so that I could add this repository to
sources.list and its packages should override the standard Debian ones.

Maybe however, it is not such a good idea to publish for other systems a
package built outside a clean reference environment.

Actually I would like to get the better of the two worlds: the general good
quality and stability of Debian packages and - for selected packages only -
the flexibility of *BSD ports, or probably Gentoo(?).
