Let me pick a simple one without specialties: rxparamedit.

Given you installed from packages in Ubuntu, the first step would be to check if there already is a debian package that you can just install. Usually that is named ros-<distro>-<stack/metapackage>. The nav-bar in the wiki shows the stack a package is in, which in this case would be freiburg_tools. For fuerte you'll find that sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-freiburg-tools works.

If there is no deb package, you have to install by sources. rosws/ws_tool is recommended for that. The wiki page should list a source URL, e.g. https://alufr-ros-pkg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/freiburg_tools. The rosws tutorials show how to do this in more detail, but basically rosws set --svn https://alufr-ros-pkg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/freiburg_tools and rosws update should do the trick.

Next, build the package by rosdep install rxparamedit and rosmake rxparamedit or catkin_make if the package is catkinized .
