+linux-status for Debian
+----------------------
+
+There's a Vagrantfile to make maintenance easier. To start, use `vagrant up`,
+then `vagrant ssh`. The project will be in /vagrant; kill the VM using
+`vagrant destroy -f` when you're done.
+
+There're a bunch of useful one-liners in Makefile. Everything is built in
+debian/build-area/.
+
+ * Merge the new version to the debian branch:
+
+ git merge TAG
+
+ * Add a changelog entry (you'll need to fix the version manually):
+
+ make dch
+
+ * To test, make a source package:
+
+ make src
+ make src/test # Ignores uncommitted changes.
+
+ * To test, make a binary package:
+
+ make bin
+ make bin/test # Ignores uncommmited changes.
+
+ * Commit the changes:
+
+ git add changelog
+ make commit
+ make tag
+
+ * You can push the changes to GitHub now, and it should take care of the
+ rest. Otherwise, you can upload the package to Launchpad manually as
+ described below.
+
+ * Upload the source package to the PPA:
+
+ make upload
+
+ To make the package available for different Ubuntu distributions, copy the
+ package binaries on Launchpad. I dread the day when this becomes
+ impossible.
+
+ * Make a binary package using pbuilder (useful for testing that the package
+ builds on a particular distribution):
+
+ make DIST=focal dist/create
+ make DIST=focal dist/update
+ make DIST=focal dist
+ make DIST=focal dist/test # Ignores uncommitted changes.
