Do `export LC_ALL=C` before building, otherwise the testsuite/make error
messages will be different from those stored in the
-`debian/testsuite-checking/expected-results-*` files.

+stuff, too). Can interrupt with `C-c` during locale stuff or testsuite if only

+The latter two steps can also be combined as `dpkg-buildpackage -R'debian/rules

+would first try to un-patch, which may conflict if you have done any edits
