The following packages needs to be installed in order to build source .deb package to be upload to PPA:
sudo apt-get install git devscripts debhelper dh-make
The build process is very much automated and the following command can be used to build a specific source package and upload it to the ppa.
make dput <PACKAGE_NAME>
Before running dput make sure that you have access to upload packages to named-data/ppa (or modify target PPA repository in packaging.mk).
