Hi,

The packaging guide has a few errors which I have listed below. If this
is too inconvenient, i can make a diff (but after a few days). 

This is the packaging guide linked at http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/ch02.html 

sudo echo “mychroot /var/chroot” >>  /etc/dchroot.conf
changes to:
sudo echo “mychroot /var/chroot” | sudo tee -a /etc/dchroot.conf

sudo debootstrap –variant=buildd breezy /var/chroot/ http://archive.Ubuntu.com/Ubuntu/
changes to
sudo debootstrap --variant=buildd breezy /var/chroot/ http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/

sudo echo “deb http://archive.Ubuntu.com/Ubuntu breezy main restricted universe multiverse” > /etc/apt/sources.lis
changes to:
echo “deb http://archive.Ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted universe multiverse” > /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo echo “deb-src http://archive.Ubuntu.com/Ubuntu breezy main restricted universe multiverse” >>  /etc/apt/sources.lis
echo “deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted universe multiverse” >>  /etc/apt/sources.list

That's far I've gone into the guide. I'll provide a diff if there are
further changes. There is also another guide at
http://doc.ubuntu.com/generic/packagingguide/C/index.html which seems to
be outdated. Maybe it's a good idea to remove it. 

Regards,
Venkat
