This might help:

  https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/packaging-tutorial/packaging-tutorial

and this:

  https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/first.en.html

(both Debian rather than Ubuntu, but should mostly apply, and any
differences you find might help if you want to push your work upstream
eventually)

Oh, and, CDBS is evil -- don't touch it

Other things to look out for pbuilder and cowbuilder, and
git-buildpackage (or perhaps bzr-builddeb if you've not yet noticed
that bzr is dead ;-) )

HTH

Cheers, Phil.
