Repackaging TIVsm-BA
First do gpg-agent --daemon to avoid having to type in your passphrase all the time.
Then, go into the directory and edit around in debian.
In particular, the Architecture in debian/control should be set to “i386 amd64”.
Then, create the packages with:
dpkg-buildpackage -aamd64
dpkg-buildpackage -ai386
