Seeing as how your question was in response only to my comment on 
dpkg-buildpackage, I will simply re-affirm that I use dpkg-buildpackage almost 
exclusively (see last paragraph).  I use it ALL of the time, with the exception 
of make-kpkg.

dpkg-buildpackage is, I think, simply a combination of a few other scripts.  
Your particular style would determine how you learn and/or use any of them.

Let me know if you meant something different.  Since I happened to lookup the 
manpage to dpkg-source out of curiosity, I included it, but writing this email 
was the first time I explicitly used it.

Thanks,
Roger
