Some programs provide targets in the makefile to build packages, I did
not see any quickly in Wine's case... (Finding the scripts used to
generate the packages on WineHQ should help a lot...)

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BuildingWineFromSource#Build%20Wine
seems to include instructions on creating a debian package...

You should distribute the source code of the modified version with
it... (With the LGPL it is not necessary to include independent
stuff's code (such as DLLs that is not derived from Wine's version,
etc))

You may probably not include Microsoft DLL's, other software with your
distribution... (In most cases...)
