+If you're trying to build a package from source, you're probably familiar with
+this but here are some instructions anyway.
+
+The following steps assume you're using packaging version 7.1a-1. Replace with
+the current version where appropriate.
+
+BUILD WITH sbuild OR pbuilder
+=============================
+
+- Download and verify the PGP signature on the sources (if you're paranoid):
+- Rename the tarball:
+
+ mv "TrueCrypt 7.1a Source.tar.gz" truecrypt_7.1a.orig.tar.gz
+
+- enter the base folder of this Git project
+
+ debuild -uc -us -S
+
+- run sbuild (similar for pbuilder)
+
+ sbuild -sAd unstable truecrypt_7.1a-1.dsc
