How can I apply the packaging for libvirt to build a package out of a git version?

I've been trying to work on a patch to libvirt to enable Ceph/RBD storage volumes.
I would like to test my code now. I would like to do this as a package (or even a Launchpad PPA), so that I can cleanly remove it.
Obviously, someone has already done the work to get libvirt packaged for Ubuntu and Debian.
How can I take a git branch and build it into a package using the packaging the official Ubuntu package uses?
Bonus points if we can get something like the output of
git describe --abbrev=7 --always --tags
as the version, so I can end up with both the version (4.0.0) and the git tag (gfd7cb8c) in a version number such that newer versions actually look new to apt.

@muru I've read it, but am a bit overwhelmed. Hence wanting to just use the already done packaging instead of trying to figure it all out from scratch.

Yes, you can use packaging files from the distribution (Ubuntu/Debian).
Create a source archive from your repository, and rename it correctly.
<packagename>_<version>.orig.tar.gzThe root folder inside the archive should be
<packagename>-<version>which contain the whole source tree.Then extract it.
Download Debian packaging file
.debian.tar.zxfrom:https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/libvirt-bin
Extract it and put
debianfolder inside<packagename>-<version>folder from the previous step.Open terminal in
<packagename>-<version>folder then build Debian source package.# if needed
dch
debuild clean
# build source package only
debuild -SUpload it to PPA that will build binary packages for you.
