Forgot to mention how debbuildopts would work with this patch.
Basically, each option to pass to dpkg-buildpackage would need --debbuildopts in front of it. For example, to pass -S and -sa, use: --debbuildopts -S --debbuildopts -sa I've attached another patch that updates the man pages. The space delimited list of options as was described in the man pages before never worked for me. Andres Mejia
