That is, of course, the correct set of steps to take.
But there are shortcuts:

    fakeroot apt-get source --compile gsl

will do all the above, provided that you have an "unstable" deb-src
line in /etc/apt/sources.list, e.g.

    deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian     unstable   main contrib non-free
