+  * Copy the link to the dsc file from the right hand side
+  * use dget to fetch the sources
+  dget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/t/transmission/transmission_2.52-3+nmu1.dsc
+  * Update the sources. This uses the debian/watch file to update the sources.

+  Note: Currently the watch file (debian/watch) is limited to bz2, however transmission has moved to the xz extension. Modify the url to use the xz extension to get the latest build.
+  Note: At this point you probably want to remove the patches in debian/patches/*.patch and update the series file as these patches will probably already exist in the upstream version (and probably no longer apply anyway).
+  * Build the dsc file so we can use pbuilder
