deloptes, you took the right file!
The trick is (very simplified) as follows:

1) take the source code of module from the git (including submodules)
2) add the appropriate debian folder from the git source tde-packaging
3) into debian/changelog add at the top version of your build and date
4) build your package :)

As I mentioned, the procedure is shown greatly simplified. For example: 
because the packages are created in the format "3.0 (quilt)", you have to 
prepare tarball "orig.tar.xz" with the corresponding version number. To 
enable a smooth path for update packages, you need to establish the method of 
counting the basic version of the packages and in addition counting version 
of the "packaging" files - including the version of the distribution, for 
which the package is created. For this reason, Tim, Michele and I have 
scripts that automate this process.

If you were interested in: For preliminary stable builds repository is now 
from one git module generated 18 source packages - for each version of the 
distributions. From these source packages is then 49 builds of binary 
packages - for each platform of each distribution. Establish rules for 
counting versions is therefore very important step :)


If you plan to simply test your upcoming patches on the current version of the 
package, you can simplify your work as follows:

1) apt-get source _package_
   "orig.tar.xz", "debian.tar.xz" and "dsc" will be downloaded and extracted
2) add your desired patches to folder debian/patches
   and write them to the list debian/patches/series
3) if you wish, enter a higher version number in the debian/changelog
4) build your updated package :)
