### Verify that the package builds
- % git reset --hard
- % git clean -xdf
- % QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches
- % export QUILT_PATCHES
- % quilt push -a
- % ./configure
- % make all test
+There are many ways to do this. Important is:
+
+* Use a clean and uptodate Debian Sid chroot (e.g. by using `sbuild`,
+ or `pbuilder` and friends) to make a comprehensive test or for
+ uploading.
+
+ Axel prefers: `pdebuild -j6`
+
+* For a quick sanity check, a simple `dpkg-buildpackage -B` (just
+ builds the architecture-dependent binary packages or a `debuild -uc
+ -us` (builds source and binary packages, runs `lintian` afterwards)
+ may suffice.
+
+* Use `gbp buildpackage` to automatically make sure, you are on the
+ correct branch and that the working directory is clean.
### Update changelog again for the release
