dpkg-buildpackage only works if the sources have been "debianized" as
gambas source is (i.e. you have to see the debian directory inside the
sources, with all the information needed to build the packages)

You don't need a repository to install packages. apt-get is not the only
tool to install packages in Debian. Just move to the directory where the
packages are, and execute: "dpkg -i *.deb" and all the packages will be
installed. If there is any not satisfied dependency, "apt-get -f
install" will solve it, and then you will be able to do "dpkg -i *deb"
again successfully.
