How do I add/create a <source.changes> file?

OK, we need to get you ready using the usual PPA process (forget this Quickly business, it seems to be going Slowly ;)

Forgive me for using your full name jeggy, but it's in your Launchpad account so not exactly secret:

Sign the Code of Conduct
- Go to https://launchpad.net/codeofconduct
- Follow the instructions in this answer to sign it in one step.
Set your name and modify the changelog, correctly:
- E: jebster changes: changed-by-address-malformed root <root@jeggy-XPS>
- This is a problem, because your (a) it is in the wrong format, and (b) has no relation to your GPG key.
- In the terminal, set these variables:
```
export DEBFULLNAME="Jógvan Olsen"
export DEBEMAIL="[email protected]"
```
- Now open the changelog (debian/changelog) in gedit; carefully select only this signature at the end:
  root <root@jeggy-XPS> and change it to
  Jógvan Olsen <[email protected]> making sure spaces before/after are not affected.
- The final changelog should look something like:
```
jebster (0.1) precise; urgency=low

\* Initial release.

-- Jógvan Olsen   Tue, 03 Jul 2012 04:29:33 -0700
```
Finally, debuild and correctly sign the source.changespackage
- Run debuild -S -sa, and this time you should be asked to sign with your GPG key, 5C24B331
- cd .., and then dput ppa:jeggy/jebster xxxxxxx_source.changes
