As an hint, look at the "Build-Depends:" line of the
"emacs22_22.1+1-2.dsc" file you can find at
http://packages.debian.org/sid/emacs22 (Ubuntu uses Debian as
upstream), you probably dont' need all the packages listed, as at
least a couple are for package creation, not Emacs dependencies
(quilt, imagemagick, sharutils).

If you download the three files (original, dsc, and diff), you could
use the Debian (Ubuntu should use the same) "dpkg-dev" tools to build
a deb package (dpkg-buildpackage)...
