Seeing as how your question was in response only to my comment on dpkg-buildpackage, I will simply re-affirm that I use dpkg-buildpackage almost exclusively (see last paragraph). I use it ALL of the time, with the exception of make-kpkg. dpkg-buildpackage is, I think, simply a combination of a few other scripts. Your particular style would determine how you learn and/or use any of them. Let me know if you meant something different. Since I happened to lookup the manpage to dpkg-source out of curiosity, I included it, but writing this email was the first time I explicitly used it. Thanks, Roger
