You probably mean here what command I used to build the package:

tar -xvf piklab-0.16.0.tar.bz2
cd piklab-0.16.0/
dh_make -e csanyipal@gmail.com -c gpl2 --createorig

Type of package: single binary, indep binary, multiple binary,
 library, kernel module, kernel patch? 
 [s/i/m/l/k/n] s

Done. Please edit the files in the debian/ subdirectory now. piklab
uses a configure script, so you probably don't have to edit the
Makefiles. 

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

You probably mean here what command I used to get my GPG key:

I updated ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf with lines at the end:
personal-digest-preferences SHA256
cert-digest-algo SHA256
default-preference-list SHA512 SHA384 SHA256 SHA224 AES256 \
 AES192 AES CAST5 ZLIB BZIP2 ZIP Uncompressed

Then I did run the command:
gpg --gen-key

and created gpg key with keysize of 4096 bits.

After that I added subkey for encryption:
gpg --edit-key 0x1A772747

After that I send the new key to key server:
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --send-key 1A772747


However, I have two keys, so maybe I should set up the primary key?
