Congratulations! If you made it this far through these exercises, you should be quite proficient enough to create the first packages of your own. There are a couple more interesting things that you might want to look into though:
If like me, you've got machines running Etch, Lenny, Hardy, Intrepid, Jaunty and also Sid and Karmic or even <horrors> Gutsy and Sarge </horrors>, with amd64, i386 and perhaps ia64 and ppc architectures, then you may want to build packages for multiple distributions/architectures. Then you definitely want to look into the PBuilder HOWTO. Or you may want to look into CowBuilder or QemuBuilder.
Default configuration can be augmented with debconf.
CDBS, the Common Debian Build System, was already mentioned as an alternative for writing entire debian/rules, and keeping them cleaner too.
Procedure 2.5. Building and uploading with pdebuild
Building
jurjen@packager:~ $ cd packaging/lwp-utils/lwp-utils-0.1.0
jurjen@packager:~/packaging/lwp-utils/lwp-utils-0.1.0$ mkdir ../lastbuild
jurjen@packager:~/packaging/lwp-utils/lwp-utils-0.1.0$ pdebuild --auto-debsign --debsign-k "j.bokma@rug.nl" --buildresult ../lastbuild --logfile ../lastbuild/pdebuild.log
Uploading
jurjen@packager:~/packaging/lwp-utils/lwp-utils-0.1.0$ dupload --nomail -t lwp-lucid ../lastbuild/lwp-utils_0.1.0-1_amd64.changes
dupload note: no announcement will be sent.
Checking signatures before upload......signatures are ok
Uploading (scp) to repo.service.rug.nl:/srv/upload/repo/lucid/lwp-experimental/
