I don't think the packaging should need to be changed much, if at all.
The problem is just to rebuild all the packages in the right order. This
message has a little more detail, and links to the script I use to do
the "build in the right order" part for the libraries (for
unstable/amd64, with pbuilder):

Either the script would have to be generalised, or an alternative would
have to be used (perhaps the software used by Debian's buildds?).


Thanks
