Slowly... somehow I have the wrong source here, then our m68k machine on the
net is down and my i386 machines dont run potato and I am waiting for a
final comment from the author. Tomorrow

Yeah, right, I overlooked it. Excellent guide!
Ok, two questions, I installed emacs at home, nice mode for editing the
changelog, but where do I get "dch" from which you mention in the guide?
Next, imagine I have access to a potato i386 machine and want to upload the
source as well as m68k and i386 binaries (its a more advanced topic, I dont
blame you that its not in the new maintainers guide :-). How do I create my
changes file then other than by hand?
Ciao,
Christian.
