I do it like this for what I run which is Pre-V36 (Master):
sudo apt install git ansible
mkdir ~/build
cd ~/build
##clone the stuff you need
git clone https://github.com/mythtv/ansible.git
git clone https://github.com/mythtv/packaging.git
git clone https://github.com/mythtv/mythtv.git
cd ~/build/ansible
./mythtv.yml --limit=localhost
cd ~/build/mythtv/mythtv
../../packaging/deb-light/build_package.sh

The .deb package will be in the ~/build directory when done.

If you want the plugins also, do the same stuff but:

cd ~/build/mythtv/mythplugins
../../packaging/deb-light/build_package.sh

I'm doing this from memory, so I hope there aren't any typos.
