Ubuntu Essex packages for 12.04 LTS are based on the stable/essex
branches of OpenStack (which definitely includes Folsom/Grizzly bugfixes
backports). There may be some minor packaging patches left (see [1]),
but you will have a reasonably good approximation if you use the
stable/essex branch of devstack.

If you need to work from *exact* Ubuntu packages for some reason, then
you can't really avoid Ubuntu packaging workflow: check out packaging
branch[2], add your own patches, build your packages from that and
deploy them. That's a more difficult road, but Ubuntu developers should
be able to help you getting off the ground.
