I've built [1.38 ± translations](https://launchpad.net/~xiota/+archive/ubuntu/stuff-18.04/+build/22285792) for 18.04 on [launchpad.net](https://launchpad.net/).  The process is basically...

* Package the source into a file with the name `package_version.orig.tar.xz`
* Create a `debian` folder with packaging information.  The easiest way to do this is to grab an [existing version](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/geany) and modify it.
  - Since you're backporting to an older distribution, you'll have to modify the dependencies list in the `debian/control` file.
  - You may need to backport dependency packages for your distribution.  (Doesn't seem to be necessary in this case.)
  - Update `debian/changelog`
* Create an account and PPA to upload your package.

If you don't want to use a PPA, you can build the `deb` locally with `dpkg-buildpackage`.

If you need more details on any of the above steps, you can search the internet.
