Section Next Steps

==================
After making a fix to the packaging you can rebuild using -nc “no clean” without having to build from scratch:

$ debuild -nc
Having checked that the package builds locally you should ensure it builds on a clean system using pbuilder. If you haven’t set up pbuilder-dist yet, do so now:

$ bzr builddeb -S
$ cd ../build-area
$ pbuilder-dist precise build hello_2.7-0ubuntu1.dsc
=====================

the debuild -nc command has to be done from the "debian" folder, but you've instructed a few steps earlier to move to ~ with ../..
also the same debuild -nc command requires a gpg key. which was not set. the command should read debuild -nc -us -uc

The bzr builddeb -S command returns not a branch

kat@linus:~$ bzr builddeb -S
bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "/home/kat/".

there is no ../build-area to cd into

[Andrew Starr-Bochicchio (andrewsomething)]

Both "bzr builddeb -S" and "debuild -nc" assume that you're in the base directory of the package, not debian/.

I guess we need to be more clear about that.
