It's not rocket science, if no package is available there are several
ways to build a package for Ubuntu. I prefer to finish with
checkinstall instead of following the Ubuntu policy and splitting the
package.

First install the Ubuntu source and run build-dep, then don't replace
the Ubuntu source and don't build with the Ubuntu policy, instead remove the
source completely, git clone and use checkinstall, so you only get one package for
all.

A  cat version  shows the version.

That's how I configured

./configure --build=$(uname -m)-foobar-linux-gnu --disable-maintainer-mode --prefix=/usr/local --disable-static --enable-silent-rules --disable-jpilot --enable-enchant--enable-gnutls--enable-ldap --enable-crash-dialog --enable-pgpmime-plugin --enable-spamassassin-plugin --enable-bogofilter-plugin

That's how I set up checkinstall

1 -  Summary: [ A GTK+ based e-mail client - git checkout ]
2 -  Name:    [ claws-mail-git ]
5 -  License: [ GPL3 ]
9 -  Alternate source location: [  ]
10 - Requires: [  ]
11 - Provides: [ claws-mail ]
12 - Conflicts: [  ]

You need "#11 provides", assumed you want to install the theme package.
There's no need to add the dependencies.
