+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBsbuild\-debuild\fR rebuilds Debian binary packages from the corresponding
+Debian source in a manner similar to debuild.
+.PP
+sbuild\-debuild is given a list of packages to process as the arguments
+\fBPACKAGE\f[BI]i\fP[.dsc]\fR. These arguments are in the form of either
+debianized package source directories or a .dsc file.
+.PP
+For arguments given as source directories, dpkg-buildpackage is first run to
+produce a source .dsc file. Then, the package is built using the .dsc produced.
+For arguments given as .dsc files, running dpkg-buildpackage is skipped
+altogether. If no arguments are given, sbuild-debuild acts on the current
+working directory as a source directory to process.
+.PP
+Before a package is built, sbuild-debuild first changes into the directory where
+the corresponding .dsc file resides.
+.PP
+After a successful build, if lintian is installed on the system, lintian is run
+on the resulting .changes file produced after a build.
+.PP
+In between each run of dpkg-buildpackage, sbuild, and lintian for a package,
+a list of commands can be run, similar to running hooks, except that arguments
+can be given and "special" keywords can be given as an argument to these
+commands to have sbuild-debuild convert them into various arguments. See the
+section \fBEXTERNAL COMMANDS\fR for more on this.
+.PP
+The exit status from sbuild-debuild is either 0 or 1. When a package is
+processed, if dpkg-buildpackage, sbuild, or lintian fails, processing of that
+package is stopped immediately and processing of the next package is started
+instead. For external commands, if an external command fails, the next external
+command is run but processing of a package is not halted. If at any point the
+processing of a package failed or an external command failed, sbuild-debuild is
+marked to exit with value 1 (i.e. failure), otherwise it exits with value 0
+(i.e. success).

+.SH CONFIG FILES
+.TP
+.I /etc/sbuild/sbuild-debuild.conf
+Configuration, maintained by the system administrator. This may be used to
+override the defaults.
+.TP
+.I ~/.sbuild-debuildrc
+User-specific configuration.
+.SH EXTERNAL COMMANDS
+Support to run external commands during an sbuild-debuild run is provided. A set
+of external commands can be run before running dpkg-buildpackage, before running
+sbuild, before running lintian, and before ending processing of a package.
+Providing commands to run is done through the \fI\-\-pre\-*\-commands\fP options
+given on the command line and through the use of the configuration files. In the
+configuration file, the list of commands to run are placed in an array of
+strings corresponding to the commands to run.
+.PP
+Here's an example of how to edit the configuration files to run "foo" and "bar"
+with arguments before dpkg-buildpackage is run.
+.PP
+\f[CB]$pre_dpkg_buildpackage_commands = ['foo arg1 arg2',\fP
+.br
+\f[CB] 'bar arg1 arg2 arg3',\fP
+.br
+\f[CB] ];\fP
+.PP
+Here's an example of how to do the same with the previous example, except using
+the \fI\-\-pre\-dpkg\-buildpackage\-commands\fP option.
+.PP
+\f[CB]$ sbuild\-debuild \\\fP
+.br
+\f[CB] \-\-pre\-dpkg\-buildpackage\-commands 'foo arg1 arg2' \\\fP
+.br
+\f[CB] \-\-pre\-dpkg\-buildpackage\-commands 'bar arg1 arg2 arg3'\fP
+.PP
+Besides running external commands, sbuild\-debuild can also detect the use of
+certain keywords given as arguments. These keywords are used to allow for a
+command to be supplied with a certain argument depending on the keyword given.
+For example, it could be possible to have an external command be given the
+path to a .changes file.
+.PP
+Here is a listing of keywords and a description of what it's converted to.
+.IP \fB\@SBUILD_DEBUILD_DSC\@\fR
+This keyword is converted to the absolute path to a package's .dsc file.
+.IP \fB\@SBUILD_DEBUILD_SOURCE_CHANGES\@\fR
+This keyword is converted to the absolute path to a package's source .changes
+file.
+.IP \fB\@SBUILD_DEBUILD_BIN_CHANGES\@\fR
+This keyword is converted to the absolute path to a package's .changes file
+depending on architecture.
+.PP
+Here's an example of using a keyword to run piuparts on a .changes file before
+the processing of a package ends.
+.PP
+\f[CB]$ sbuild\-debuild \-\-pre\-exit\-commands \\\fP
+.br
+\f[CB] 'piuparts \@SBUILD_DEBUILD_BIN_CHANGES\@'\fP
+.PP
+One final note, external commands are processed in the order they are given.
+Also, the commands given in a configuration file are processed first, then the
+commands given through the command line options.
