Ubuntu suggested I do this, but as I am not really a
developer or programmer I didn't really understand what I
found by extracting the Debian package. I asked them for
help but suffice it to say they weren't exactly helpful.

Packaging for Debian/Ubuntu (often) is very non-trivial. If
you don't understand the existing 1.19 package, you will
have to invest a *lot* of hours to package MediaWiki.
There is a dedicated mailing list for packaging MediaWiki
for Debian/Ubuntu at
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-mediawiki-devel,
and
https://wiki.debian.org/MediaWiki has some general
information.
