Anybody knows how to compile and install Ubuntu/Debian source packages on and for Fedora 11 x86_64?

This doesn't have much to do with Debian/Ubuntu really, as they are
just packaging code they got from FreeBSD. Poking the package source,
they use a shell script to pull the sources from the FreeBSD CVS tree:
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/glibc-bsd/trunk/ufsutils/debian/upstream.sh
There is not a configure script (as many projects don't use one). At
a glance, it looks like all you need to do is call make. See the
Debian rules file, which covers the steps taken in the process of
building the Debian packages:
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/glibc-bsd/trunk/ufsutils/debian/rules
I suspect you'll be able to find your way through that even if you're
not familiar with Debian packaging.
