maint-guide updates



Hi,

I am updating maint-guide and needs some help on wording.

Specifically:

  <sect id="sourcel"><file>source/local-options</file> file

  <p>If you wish to build your package directly in a directory checked out from
  a VCS repository containing unpatched upstream source with the
  <file>debian/*</file> tree for the Debian packaging and to keep it clean after
  a package build, you should create an optional
  <file>debian/source/local-options</file> file in it containing
  "<tt>--unapply-patches</tt>".  This file is not included in the generated
  source package and changes the local build behavior only
  (see <manref name="dpkg-source" section="1">).

  <p>You do not need to run "<tt>quilt pop -a</tt>" anymore before committing
  to the VCS.

Any comment?  I think sentences in the first paragraph is too long and
better served by shorter sentences.

Osamu
