+linux-status for Debian
+----------------------
+
+There's a Vagrantfile to make maintenance easier. To start, use `vagrant up`,
+then `vagrant ssh`.
+
+There're a bunch of useful one-liners in Makefile. Everything is built in
+debian/build-area/.
+
+ * Make a source package:
+
+ make src
+ make src/test # Ignores uncommitted changes.
+
+ * Make a binary package:
+
+ make bin
+ make bin/test # Ignores uncommmited changes.
+
+ * Add a changelog entry:
+
+ gbp dch
+
+ * Tag the last commit:
+
+ make tag
+
+ * 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/create DIST=focal
+ make dist/update DIST=focal
+ make dist DIST=focal
+ make dist/test DIST=focal # Ignores uncommitted changes.
