there are at least 2 ppas out there for frodo.(1 is in my sig, the other is Nathan Rennies) Select one, get the debian.tar.gz and run debuild -us -uc or use pbuilder.
Or use one of the ppas directly

the one in your sig doesn't actually seem to be for froyo, its mostly the same as the eden one from xbmc-packaging's github, which i'm surprised works.

i might just stick with tarring up the source directory, so if anything goes wrong with a new build i can just untar and install the old build.

i just can't get the hang of debian packaging and it really annoys me, as redhat packaging is so simple (and no i don't want to try alien on an rpm!)
