Executive summary: If you use Mercurial and pbuilder for package maintenance you should try out mercurial-buildpackage in http://people.debian.org/~jps/squeeze/ .
I have spent some time on making an improved version of hg-buildpackage, which turned out to become a complete rewrite now called mercurial-buildpackage. The highlights are * Support dpkg source format 3.0. * Several .dsc can be imported to retain the full history when converting an existing package. * Building via pbuilder is a breeze. * Easily parsable output; same format as Lintian or Piuparts. * Complains if the repository has uncommited changes (unless --force). * Only one repository. Branches are used to keep upstream separate. I will now work on getting backporting, downstreaming (Ubuntu etc.) to be a breeze (breezy?) too.
