I'd like to suggest a change to the "Simple Backport" wikipage at
https://wiki.debian.org/SimpleBackportCreation The page suggests using: dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc. I've found that backporting from unstable goes much more smoothly if you use: debuild -us -uc instead. The package scripts seem to behave better. I'm not "super experienced" in this sort of thing, so if there is a better way, by all means, please mention it. Ideally, I imagine that we would want everyone using the same packaging process, regardless of personal experience - fewer mistakes and so on. Thanks! T.J.
