Hm, I didn't look into the rules file again (I think I've deleted it on
my disk).  But in any case it is important that if the build fails, the
contents of the log file are automatically displayed.  This is important
if one encounters a problem while using pbuilder (which will then remove
the whole chroot), or even more if an official buildd fails.

As for the man page, i think it's very good.  Only two minor issues:

  .SH AUTHOR
-  The under section \fBNAME\fP mentioned programs were written by
Werner
+ The programs mentioned in section \fBNAME\fP were written by Werner
  Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>.
  .PP
  This manual page was written by Danai SAE-HAN <danai.sae-han@skynet.be>,
  for the Debian project (but may be used by others).

And you should extend the last sentence with a real license statement,
something like "It is in the public domain and may be freely used,
distributed and/or modified", or alternatively the GPL or whatever if
you prefer.
