Use -B, not -b. -B will only generate the arch-specific debs, whereas
-b will. Both won't generate the source package.
I've found that using fakeroot somtimes leads to strange ownerships in
the packages (especially where setuid programs are concerned);
apparently fakeroot has been broken in a subtle way by glibc6.1. So I
build packages as root...
Another hint: for -m you only have to supply a unique string, so
-msauter will probably work. Saves typing :-)
