That's really not a helpful error message. As it wasn't even clear which 
of the necessary packages produced the error, I went ahead and built the 
packages. This is how it worked:

First I used a 12.10 system to find out which packages from the ppa 
would be installed if I select gcdemu - this is the result: cdemu-
client, cdemu-daemon, gcdemu, libmirage7, vhba-dkms. So these are the 
packages I want to build on the 12.04 system.

On tne 12.04 system I added the ppa-file "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/cdemu-
ppa-quantal.list" from the quantal system. The important line is this:

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/cdemu/ppa/ubuntu quantal main

where the release name is quantal instead of precise (because there are 
no packages for precise).

Then I used the commands

sudo apt-get update
sudo build-dep cdemu-client cdemu-daemon gcdemu libmirage7 vhba-dkms
mkdir gcdemu
cd gcdemu
apt-get source cdemu-client cdemu-daemon gcdemu libmirage7 vhba-dkms

The result were several directories with the source for the individual 
packages. In each of those directories I issued the command

fakeroot debian/rules binary

The command failed in the libmirage directory. But due to the link Oli 
posted earlier today, I found that I had to change some of the files 
"debian/*.install" and replace the "usr/lib/*/whatever" with 
"usr/lib/whatever".

Finally I installed all of the .deb packages which were built in the top 
directory. There was still an unmet dependency, so the command

sudo apt-get install -f

installed the missing rest.
