> Part II - Update a package
>
> 1. Checkout the package:
>
>    debcheckout --auth <packagename>
>
> 2. Install the build dependencies
>
>    sudo apt-get build-deps <packagename>
>
> 3. Modify the package
>
> 4. Update the debian/changelog file with:
>
>     dch --team
>
> 5. Rebuild the package:
>
>     debuild
>
> 6. Commit your changes (with svn commit or git commit, git push), one
> commit per modification preferably, instead of a one big commit.
>
> 7. When the package is ready, notify the debian-java list about the
> changes you made. A Debian Developer will review them and upload the

> 8. Celebrate your first package update! :)
