Good, I was hoping it would be something Debian-based because that's
what I know. The easiest thing to do is patch the existing package. As
long as you don't need to use a specific version (or "the latest") that
differs from the Ubuntu version.

I don't know how much you know about using apt, dpkg etc. So if I say:
get the source package, use quilt to patch in your changes, add a
changelog entry, get the build-deps, build and install the package(s),
does that mean anything to you or do you need a lot more detail?
