Review: Approve
* One thing you can suggest, instead of guessing which dependent libraries need to be installed, if the package is already in Ubuntu, just `sudo apt-get build-dep <package>`.  It can save a lot of time.  If it's a new package of course this doesn't work. ;)

* In Oneiric, there's now a meta-package called `packaging-dev` which should contain dependencies on everything you need to do your packaging work.  We should suggest that folks install this.

* How aggressively should we push `pkgme` instead of `dh-make`?  I guess not so much right now since pkgme isn't even in the archives yet :(  Perhaps you can mention it though?  (It can be installed from a PPA).
