The standard way to build a Debian package is to create a subdirectory
"debian" which contains package information and scripts. I have just
adapted the scripts for the official Debian package to work with the git
version. (I'm using this approach for a longer time now). The package is
built by invoking the script debian/rules, e.g.
debian/rules binary
You could add a debian subdirectory with the corresponding files to the
repository so that everybody can easily build a package. Maybe the
Debian maintainer of Denemo could provide a suitable set of files?
With these scripts, package building could easily be automated on a server.
