God, no, I don't do it by hand. And no, there is no other tool you
should be using.
The buildd is a fickle and complicated piece of software; it is FAR
overkill for something like this. Well, maybe not terribly far
overkill, but probably more trouble than you want to go to. It's
called "wanna-build".
Stick to dbuild, I think.
