I'd recommend build it in pbuilder, then you can be sure your local changes haven't made it into the package. I also recommend, if aren't going to use pbuilder: $ sudo apt-get build-debs firefox $ cd /var/tmp $ apt-get source firefox $ cd firefox-x.y.z $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -- Bob Tanner <tanner at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com, Minnesota, Linux | Fax : (952)943-8500 Key fingerprint = AB15 0BDF BCDE 4369 5B42 1973 7CF1 A709 2CC1 B288
