Desperate for deb docs

[Tyson Sawyer]

OK, that was helpful.  But there is still a big picture thing that I
don't understand:

How does one re-build a .deb package?  Where is the equivalent of srpm packages?

What if I want to rebuild a package on a different architecture or
with some minor change?

Thanks!
Ty
