Building debian packages from source definitely does not involve "randomly installing crap from around the internet".

The .sdeb format packages up sources and build scripts into one atomic, build-able unit.

The only .sdeb archive format I know of is the one for debbuild[1]. Most Debian package build mechanisms don't have a source package archive format.
