Package: debmake-doc
Version: 1.17-7
Severity: minor

1) Section 3.6 of the debmake doc says to run `adduser <your_user_name>
sbuild` but there should be `sudo` at the beginning of that command.

2) It also says "Logout and login to check you are a member of sbuild
group using id command." I don't know how universal this is, but if a
user has done `loginctl enable-linger` or has a user-level systemd
daemon configured, logging out logging back in won't work; they still
won't be in the group. They would need to either reboot or run `kill
-TERM -1` (NOT as root) to make all of their processes die and thereby
get the user-level systemd to restart. I know you're trying to keep
the guide simple so you you may not want to get into the nitty-gritty
details, but perhaps it is worth mentioning that if logging out and
logging back in doesn't work the user should try restarting their
computer.
