+You need to ensure not only that your key is secure against being stolen,
+but also that it is secure against being lost. Generate and make a copy
+(best also in paper form) of your revocation certificate; this is needed if
+your key is lost.

If you add signatures to your public key, or add user identities, you
can update the Debian key ring by sending your key to the key server at

Version numbers are usually selected by adding the codename of the testing
distribution and a incrementing number, like 1.2sarge1 for the first upload
through testing-proposed-updates of the package version 1.2.
+ <p>
+Please make sure you didn't miss any of these items at your upload:
+<list>
+<item> Make sure that your package really needs to go through
+<em>testing-proposed-uploads</em>, and can't go through unstable;
+<item> Make sure that you included only the minimal amount of changes;
+<item> Make sure that you included an appropriate explaination in the
+changelog;
+<item> Make sure that you've written <em>testing</em> or
+<em>testing-proposed-updates</em> into your target distribution;
+<item> Make sure that you've build and tested your package in
+<em>testing</em>, not in <em>unstable</em>;
+<item> Make sure that your version number is higher than the version in
+<em>testing</em> and <em>testing-proposed-updates</em>, and lower than in
+<em>unstable</em>;
+<item> After uploading and successful build on all platforms, contact the
+release team at &email-debian-release; and ask them to approve your upload.
