(In this example,
libc6 is a "multi-arch: allowed" package,
- which means that it exists in several different builds

-apt-get build-dep installs the build dependencies according to the
-official package, not your modified one. So if you've changed the
-build dependencies you might have to install some of them by hand.
-
dpkg-buildpackage is the primary tool for building a Debian source
package.
C<-uc> means not to pgp-sign the results.
You'll need a chroot for each of the secondary architectures.
This is somewhat tiresome,
even though Debian has excellent tools for managing chroots.
-C<sbuild-createchroot> from the sbuild package is a
-good starting point.
+C<sbuild-debian-developer-setup> from the package of the same name
+and C<sbuild-createchroot> from the C<sbuild> package are
+good starting points.
Otherwise you could deinstall the packages of interest
for those other architectures
