+How to unpack and prepare the files:
+    Make sure that the debian/rules file is executable
+(chmod 755 debian/rules).
+    In the file called version.txt in the root directory where you unpacked
+the library, is the version number. If the debian/changelog file has a
+different version number in the topmost change, then add a new change by
+running dch -v 1.0.8-0.1 -p "unofficial personal package" (replacing 1.0.8 by
+the current version number. Then modify the versions in the debian/control
+file to match those of the library.
+
+How to make the .deb, .tar.gz, .dsc and .changes files:
+    cd rhtvision-directory
+    dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
+
+To check the package (binary and source):
+    cd ..
+    lintian -i *.deb *.dsc
+
+To clean everything after building:
+    cd rhtvision-directory
+    fakeroot debian/rules clean
+    
+Other notes:
+    - There is a clean-debian target on the debian/rules file, it only cleans
+      Debian specific files and not upstream build files. It is useful when
+      you just want for example to rebuild the package without recompiling
+      the sources (use debian/rules clean-debian).
+    - To rebuild the packages without recompiling the sources, use the binary
+      target on the debian/rules file (debian/rules binary).
