How to instruct apt-get and/or synaptic to install from source code?

As I asked in the title, I would like to know how to setup Synaptic or how to instruct apt-get to install/upgrade software exclusively from source. I mean, apt-get/synaptic install only pre-compiled packets. I would like to setup the "building all" like Portage in Gentoo. Is this possible? If yes, how?

The easiest way is to use apt-build

See http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/raring/man1/apt-build.1.html

See also How to build all my installed package from sources?

Building from source is, IMO over rated. See :

(yes I am a long time gentoo user as well)

And

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_management_system

And

Honestly, again IMO, if you want to do all this, I highly suggest you use gentoo.
