You just need to exec 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot' from the source
directory. It'll do everything for you, including putting everything in
the changes file, and signing the dsc and changes file. After that go
one dir up, and exec 'dupload --to master ftpgrab_0.0.4a-1_m68k.changes'.
If it still does not include the source in changes file (but I don't
see why would that happen), then add the -sa option to dpkg-buildpackage.

How do you mean missing? It's there, in the last chapter.
