The directory you linked contains debian build control files (i.e. control and rules). In theory, you should be able to clone the repo and use dpkg-buildpackage (from dpkg-dev) in the top level (beside 'debian') to build a .deb.
Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. Four times is Official GNOME Policy.

I git clone the package, cd to the debian and run dpkg-buildpackage. It says cannot open file debian/changelog: No such file or directory. Help

I said top level - beside 'debian', not in it. As the message states, it's looking for "debian/changelog", starting from the current directory.
You'll probably also want to add the '-us' and '-uc' options, to build without signing the package (unless you already have your keys configured of course). Details are in the dpkg-buildpackage manual.
