I don't think that's right. "> " was meant to be the shell's secondary prompt, 
but it doesn't show up correctly, because the backslash is not escaped in the source.

Ok, I didn't think of that, but even if that were the case, I would find the 
wording
confusing, as ">" is also the sign used for redirection.

The file debbisect_buildsrc.sh itself reads like this:

# use this script to build a source package with debbisect like this:
#
#    $ DEBIAN_BISECT_SRCPKG=mysrc ./debbisect --cache=./cache "two years ago" 
yesterday /usr/share/doc/devscripts/examples/debbisect_buildsrc.sh

This is a long line, but it's easy to understand, and it may be cut and pasted 
elsewhere easily.
Using ">" might make the user (me in this case) wonder why is there a 
redirection sign at all.

Thanks.
