I guess we could improve this workflow too - e.g. by having bzr-builddeb
not chdir back after a build has failed. Though with "bzr
get-orig-source" in place that's not really important anymore.

dpkg-gensymbols spits out a diff which I usually use to update the
symbols file (after careful reviewing, of course).

Fortunately, my packages (even Samba and Heimdal) build in roughly 10
minutes on my machine so I don't care that much about starting from
scratch each time.
