Just to mention a few of my favorite commands in Debianland:

$ apt-get -b source zeroc-ice

That does the same with fewer commands.  And if you have the apt-src 
package:

$ apt-src -b install zeroc-ice

does the same *plus* installs zeroc-ice's build-dependencies!

(in apt-src teminology, it "installs" the source package to the current 
directory (meaning, it downloads and unpacks the source), and then 
"-b"uilds it.  The above invocation will not actually install the package.
