I'm surprised to see on

  https://wiki.debian.org/SimpleBackportCreation

that the recommended command to build a Debian package is
dpkg-buildpackage. I had problems with it in the past as it
doesn't clean up the environment (and some packages are very
sensitive to some environment variables), and AFAIK, debuild
(which I now use) is usually recommended, or even pdebuild.

Has anything changed?
