Hello everyone, I want to pack and distribute some new software for ubuntu.

According to

http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/packaging-new-software.html

the section "starting a package" it reads


$ bzr dh-make hello 2.7 hello-2.7.tar.gz


however, dh-make is not a valid command of bzr.

I've tried

$ dh-make hello 2.7 hello-2.7.tar.gz


but dh-make is not a valid command it prompts dh_make instead.

when I try

$ dh_make hello 2.7 hello-2.7.tar.gz


the help screen of dh_make prints and it seems that the command-line arguments are not accepted.

So, is this the correct document to go? is there any other document about how to create a .deb ?
