Please add the evolution distribution from spidermonkey.helixcode.com to your
apt-sources. Then do the following:

  apt-get source -d libgda gnome-db

Look into the .dsc files for any build-depends you need. apt-get those packages,
e.g. 

apt-get install libbonobo2 libesd0 libgal2 libgconf11 libghttp1 [...]

then use dpkg-source -x libgda*.dsc
         dpkg-source -x gnome-db*.dsc

go into libgda directory first and build the gda packages, install them via
dpkg and do the same for gnome-db after that (sh debian/rules binary).
Of course you can also use dpkg-buildpackage, if you prefer it.

Ciao,

  Holger
