I ran into the same issue while following the tutorial, and Thiago is
right. If you remove the 'hello' folder that has been created and its
content, the command 'bzr dh-make hello 2.10 hello-2.10.tar.gz' works
fine. The tutorial should make the user run "bzr whoami" after the
installation of bzr.

Title:
  Session 6.2. Starting a Package shows wrong command line

Status in Ubuntu Packaging Guide:
  New

Bug description:
  When following the steps on creating a package for Ubuntu, under
  session 6.2 Starting a Package (and using the hello-2.7.tar.gz project
  example), this line on the first box returned me an error:

  $ bzr dh-make hello 2.7 hello-2.7.tar.gz
  bzr: ERROR: Either run the command from an existing branch of upstream, or move hello aside and a new branch will be created there.

  Tweaking a little bit around with the commands and searching online, I
  found out the proper command should be:

  dh_make

  ..instead, so we'd get:

  $ bzr dh_make hello 2.7 hello-2.7.tar.gz
  Fetching tarball                                                                                                                                                                                 
  Looking for a way to retrieve the upstream tarball
  Upstream tarball already exists in build directory, using that
                                                                                                                                                                                                   
  Type of package: single binary, indep binary, multiple binary, library, kernel module, kernel patch?
