I found this:
http://developer.ubuntu.com/publish/ppa/

  * In bzr source branch run:
  * bzr bd --- -S -sa

I ran the command from the directory with the package files:

~/pbuilder/precise_result$ bzr bd --- -S -sa
bzr: ERROR: no such option: -s

I do not know what is meant by: "In bzr source branch...."
I found a directory usr/share/doc/bzr and /usr/bin/bzr.py but I get the 
same error from there.

Using the other option also gives me a cryptic error message:
Using Quickly:

  * Run the 'quickly release' command

~$ quickly release
ERROR: No release command found.
Candidate commands are: commands, getstarted, help, quickly

I have installed quickly, but there is no such command as quickly release.

No, I did not receive an email.
I found this:
https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/Uploading
dput ppa:your-lp-id/ppa <source.changes>
I did this:

~$ dput ppa:my_lp_name/ubuntu-handleiding12.04 
mijn-ubuntu-handleiding_0.1-1_amd64.changes

Thank you for helping me, Alessandro.
I am beginning to understand how to package, but when I get stuck I do 
need some help. Sometimes the instructions are too cryptic for 
beginners, like "In bzr source branch run".
