Here's the workflow I use:

$ ppa_ver=1
$ git checkout ${branch_name} -b ${branch_name}.${codename}${ppa_ver}
$ dch -l ~${codename} --distribution ${codename} "ppa build for ${codename}"
$ git commit debian/changelog -m "changelog for ppa"
$ debuild -S -i
$ git checkout ${branch_name}

(I prefer to use ~hirsute1, etc. rather than ~ppa1 for cases where I'm
doing an SRU and want to put the same debian version of a package into
two different releases. It's rare, but happened to me a couple times so
I adopted this approach.)
