Just a quick reply: if you're following the instruction from f-spot.org
on how to build from head, you just have to change your "autogen" line
in order to build it system wide.
run
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local
and this will install f-spot on your system (you then will need to run
make install as root!).

beware that you shouldn't have f-spot installed with apt or synaptic.

about making packages.... I've just installed ubuntu, so in few weeks
I'll try that :-)

ciao
