I'm using the following to roll local snapshot releases.

To make the initial checkout:

  git clone git://git.xfce.org/kalikiana/midori midori &&
  apt-get source midori &&
  cd midori &&
  zcat ../midori*.diff.gz | patch -p1

To update and roll a .deb:

  debuild clean &&
  git pull &&
  v=$(git describe --tags) && v=${v%-*} && v=${v//-/+} &&
  dch -v $v-1 'New upstream snapshot.' &&
  tar --exclude .git --exclude debian -lzma -cf ../${PWD##*/}_$v.orig.tar.lzma -C .. ${PWD##*/} &&
  mkdir -p debian/source && echo '3.0 (quilt)' >debian/source/format &&
  pdebuild

Midori has a large number of optional dependencies; I have made some
of them build dependencies based on what I think is widely useful.
The easiest way to build your own custom binary without such support
is to move the appropriate entries from Build-Depends to
Build-Conflicts in debian/control.

  - gtk-doc-tools: API documentation.
  - python-docutils: HTML user documentation (from plain text).
  - intltool: localized UI text (menu titles and such).
  - libunique-dev: turns midori into a client/server arrangement,
    where subsequent calls will open windows in the first midori.
  - libsoup2.4-dev: view source code and favicons and "save as".
  - libsqlite3-dev: persistent history.  Without this, browsing
    history is lost when you quit midori.  Possibly also relevant for
    bookmarks, I'm not sure.  Compiles OK with libsqlite0-dev, but
    history isn't persistent.
  - librsvg2-bin: create PNG icons from SVG source at compile time.
    This avoids needing to rasterize the SVGs on the fly each time
    midori is run.
  - libidn11-dev: internationalized domain names.
  - libhildon-1-dev: an alternative to GTK2, for embedded systems.
