Actually, unless you really *need* wu-ftpd for some reason, you'd be
better off avoiding it.
It has a long history of security holes and is basically junk. The
more recent pureftpd and proftpd, for example, are generally more
sound. Their build scripts probably work too!

The answer to your specific question is that if you're building from
debian source on a debian box, the debian way is to fetch all three
source files, then go:
    dpkg-source -x wu*.dsc
    cd wu*
    dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
    # this may fail immediately telling you to install some packages it needs
    cd ..
    dpkg -i wu*.deb

and if you need to fiddle configure options, you probably want to edit
debian/rules before lauching dpkg-buildpackage

If you're not building on a debian filesystem, I'd get the original
source from the original authors, wherever that is.

Good luck - if the problem persists, please ask again.
