Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools

Would be nice to have a script to making a rebuilds. Commandline is:
$ dpkg-source -x; cd foo; dch -l build 'No-change rebuild for foo (LP: #bar)'; debuild -S

As we have explained, updating maintainer field on no-change rebuilds is not necessary.

Better use 'dch -R "No-change rebuild ..."' instead of the "dch -l build".

And I sometimes use "dpkg-source -b foo-1.0" and "dpkg-genchanges -S" to build the new source package and generate the .changes file. I use this when I'm too lazy to install a build-dependency to be able to run the "clean" target (debuild -S). Especially as I only added a new changelog entry.
