Building a Debian (or Ubuntu) .deb package for your own use and want to skip signing, etc.? Quoth the debuild(1) man page:
The typical command line options to build only the binary package(s) without signing the
.changesfile (or the non-existent.dscfile):debuild -i -us -uc -b
Change the "
-b" to "-S" to build only a source package.
