Please compile the debian source package to build a debian package.
That is what it has been made for.

One way to rebuild the debian package is

apt-get source texmacs
cd texmacs-1.0.0.17
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us

(you need the -uc -us options since you cannot sign the package 
with my key).

Of course you don't get any root privileges with fakeroot. Please
see the fakeroot manpage for more infos.
