No, more like:

Set up pbuilder...

  # apt-get install pbuilder
  # pbuilder --distribution woody create

Then,

  % ls -F
  foo_1.0.orig.tar.gz
  % cvs export -d foo-1.0 -r debian_version_1_0-1 foo
  % ls -F
  foo-1.0/
  foo_1.0.orig.tar.gz
  % cd foo-1.0
  % pdebuild
  
  [some time later, after pbuilder has extracted the chroot, built the package 
in the chroot (downloading build-deps as appropriate) and cleaned up after 
itself]

  % ls /var/cache/pbuilder/result/ -F
  foo_1.0-1.diff.gz
  foo_1.0-1.dsc
  foo_1.0-1_i386.changes
  foo_1.0-1_i386.deb
  foo_1.0.orig.tar.gz
  % file /var/cache/pbuilder/result/foo_1.0-1.dsc
  /var/cache/pbuilder/result/foo_1.0-1.dsc: ASCII text
  % file /var/cache/pbuilder/result/foo_1.0-1_i386.changes
  /var/cache/pbuilder/result/foo_1.0-1_i386.changes: ASCII text

So all that is left is to test the package and sign the dsc and changes files 
with debsign.

Fair enough. Use whatever is best for you.
