When you use debuild -S to regenerate a source package, you need to have
the cdbs and quilt packages installed, as the build dependencies and the
above error messages state. It is necessary to evaluate the 'clean' target
in the makefile.


prevu works around this by using pdebuild's "internal" option (man pdebuild,
search internal) which uses the pbuilder chroot to do all of this work.

Of course it doesn't hurt to just install cdbs and quilt :D
