Hi,

What the proper way to update debian/changelog, to increase the least
significant version # and add my change comment, and my id?

Thanks

Forgot to ask, should the dch be used before dpkg-source -x *.dsc or
after, to streamline updating the debian/changelog, to increase the least
significant version # and add my change comment, and my id?

If after, how about the directory already created by dpkg-source?

Thanks

If your source tree is being created by dpkg-source -x, you won't have
anything to update till you've done it.

That's where you run it, iirc.
