+
+Of course, you should actually install your new package as one part of checking it. ``debi'' saves some typing by installing the most recent `.deb` file found in a parent of the current directory.  It requires root privileges, so you will actually type `sudo debi` (or, using `bash`'s command history, perhaps just `^Rsu`).

+Debian Quality Assurance Site
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If there is already a version of the package in the collection, you should review its entry at the QA site.  You can start at http://packages.qa.debian.org/common/index.html[]. Check the ``Bug Count'', ``TODO'', and ``Testing Status'' sections.
