Answer 1

Since you are using Ubuntu, go to the MOTU wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU It has all what you need instructions step-by-step, a irc channel and even scheduled remote courses. Also check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Packaging

A good summary: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Debian-Binary-Package-Building-HOWTO/x169.html

Answer 2

See man dpkg-deb (--build command) and man deb-control.

.deb file creation with DEBIAN directory instead of debian one is really simple.
