By following the instructions given in developers' reference instead
of the wrong ones given somewhere else. :-P

Use use -k<yourkeyid> with debuild/dpkg-buildpackage instead of -m or
build without signing (debuild/dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us) and sign
afterwards with debsign. (Both debsign -m'My Name <my@name>' and
debsign -k<yourkeyid> are ok.)
