 This is a great help when using (X)Emacs with the debian-changelog-mode and
 hitting [(control) c] [(control) c].
 
+When buiding the package, you must use the -e option of dpkg-buildpackage
+of debuild with your e-mail address as argument.  This is important because
+the Debian Policy requires that the Changed-By field of the .changes file
+contains the name of a real person, not that of a mailing list.  Besides
+that, if you are a Debian developer, put your name in the Uploaders field
+of debian/control.  By doing this, your uploads will not be considered as
+NMUs (non-maintainer uploads).
