# Update package debian/changelog
dch -n # New entry
dch -e # Edit existing entry
dch -i # Increment version
dch -v # Set version

# create a patch
edit-patch 12-make-things-work-again

# Apply any patches for this package (not usually needed)
quilt push -a

# Build signed source package

# This command is used for source from upstream debian however
# the one just below it might be better.
debuild -S -sa -k0603DBFA # always upload orig.tar.gz (and forced key)

debuild -S -sd # use archive from repo

# This is command used for the standalone non-debian 1.3.3 PPA package
debuild -S -si # New upstream package signed

# Jaunty needs to explicitly ignore git, if being used e.g.
debuild -S -si -i.git

# Builds deb packages for local testing
debuild -us -uc

For more details on debuild options see:
dpkg-buildpackage --help

# Remember to remove patches when using git repo
quilt pop -a

# From irc discussion:
## use -sa for the first upload (it forces the inclusion of the .orig.tar.* in the upload) and -sd for those which reuse that tarball
