Hi Timmie,

This question is fine here but would be a bit more on topic on the
ubuntu-distributed-devel
<https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-distributed-devel>
list.

There are a couple of options.

If you want to put the package into a PPA, then rather than building
the binary locally, you should use '--dput ppa:timmie/whatever'
(having previously created that ppa through the web interface).  The
source will be uploaded and built in Soyuz.

If you want to build the binary locally, there is a vast array of
different tools you could use but one of them would be 'debuild -i'
from within the source tree.    Many people like to build packages
isolated from their regular work environment, in which case you can
look at using 'pdebuild', though that does require a bit of initial
setup.
