Have you tried alien?

apt-cache show alien


No, but I'm not sure that it is a full on solution..... it gets you out of a 
hole for odd packages as far as I remember? And you don't end up with a source 
package?

I need to be able to hack some of the source files due to different file paths, 
and then build as debs.

According to the man page from alien


-g, --generate
           Generate a temporary directory suitable for building a package
           from, but do not actually create the package.
