You should not need to do more than read debian/README.source.

...which I have now added, it was missing in libshout ;-)

Specifically, just do a normal build and follow the instruction if it 
spews the following warning:

WARNING: The following (and possibly more) new or changed notices discovered:

[...]

To fix the situation please do the following:
  1) Fully compare debian/copyright_hints with debian/copyright_newhints
  2) Update debian/copyright as needed
  3) Replace debian/copyright_hints with debian/copyright_newhints



To avoid that extra roundtrip of a normal build, here's what I typically 
do (and did this time around too):

  quilt push -a
  (verify that none of above was fuzzy)
  DEB_MAINTAINER_MODE=1 debian/rules pre-build
  DEB_MAINTAINER_MODE=1 fakeroot debian/rules clean
  mv -f debian/copyright_newhints debian/copyright_hints
  git diff
  (check cnages to copyright_hints and control, and act accordingly)


Hope that made sense.

 - Jonas
