Hi Misha, I hope you don't mind if I quote you in public but I think there are some issues which might interest other people here. It is perfectly OK if you post your questions to the list in the future. They are on topic there.
At first I'm happy that you made some progress!

I noticed > dpkg-buildpackage does _not_ run it. Yes, that's normal. It is described in Developers Reference[1] and just a convention which comes handy if you are working in a team and everybody uses this. The script is also used by uscan in the debian/watch control file. However, dpkg-buildpackage just expects a ready prepared orig.tar.gz tarball. > In any case, no biggie.

I will try to build the package > using pbuilder, and then what? Do I upload it somewhere? Just tell us here on list. Some Debian developer (probably me) will have a close look and try to rebuild the packages and test on his machine. In case everything is fine he will upload the package as so called sponsor. You are not allowed to upload to the Debian mirror as long as your GPG key is not in the keyring of Debian Developers or Debian Maintainers. > Any help appreciated?
