No problem at all.  Not all users have these skills, and that's perfectly 
fine.

Most probably you have to duplicate your "deb" entries with "deb-src", 
IOW if you have in /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic universe multiverse

Add another line:

deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic universe multiverse

Then run "apt update" and you can "apt-get source" any package that is in 
the official Bionic archive.  (All of this is untested as I don't have 
access to an Ubuntu system and have never used it myself.)

This is about compiling random software the usual way.  That is in some 
cases more difficult.  I thought rebuilding the *debian* package would be 
easier.  Anyway.

Using that link, grab the source package with this command (you must have 
devscripts installed):

dget -u http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/agenda.app/
agenda.app_0.44-1build1.dsc

Then the instructions are the same as for textedit.app.

Right, there is no debian directory if you unpacked only the upstream 
tarball.  In this case, apply the patch like this:

$ patch -p1 </path/to/storefile.patch

You can build and test (without installing the app):

$ sudo apt-get build-dep agenda.app
$ ./configure
$ make
$ defaults delete SimpleAgenda
$ ./SimpleAgenda.app/SimpleAgenda

Make sure to delete the defaults as the store is marked read-only.
