You probably want to use dpkg-buildpackage to build a package. Because we have to build two architectures and don't have cross-compiling enabled, you have to build each architecture separately (amd64 on hephaestus, 686 on shellservers). On one of the archs, you should specify -B so that it doesn't build architecture-independant parts.
You should also see http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ for more information.
