Then you can just apt-get source blender as above, make your tweaks to the package (including a dch -i to add a new changelog section describing your changes) and rebuild the changed package yourself using debuild :) See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete for some more details on Ubuntu packaging. You do not need to contact the last maintainer just to create a changed package for yourself and your friends.

And what you want to submit for consideration from the developers is a debdiff attached to a bugreport with the sponsors subscribed.
