This page explains how to do it for kernel modules, but you can do it
for any Debian package:

Basically you:
* apt-get source blah
* download and un-tar the new tarball for blah and then go into blah/
* modify debian/changelog
* sudo dpkg-buildpackage
YMMV.
Best,

It will always
possible to screw up your system if you bypass your
distro's package manager. This is not unique to JACK.
Just build a new Debian package (or RPM or whatever your distro uses)
if you need a newer jackd.
I have many times read the manuals how to build your own debian
packages, but it just feels a bit too complicated. I just wish there was
an oneliner for that job. Or some way to just autocreate the dependencies
that you have to fill in, that's the phase where I have always given up.
