The right option to dpkg-buildpackage would be: --changes-option=-DDistribution=$value The relevant piece of code can be found in lib/Sbuild/Build.pm after $self->log_subsection("Changes") at around line 1841. This opportunity could be used to also replace the filling of the @cfiles array with proper parsing of the .changes file using Dpkg::Control and then extracting the Files field directly instead of relying on a regex which hopefully gets the right field (but sometimes doesnt - see #808560) > Also see if we can set the version to permit NMUs without altering the > changelog. I do not see how this would be possible using dpkg-buildpackage options as debian/changelog has to be altered as that ends up in the final binary packages. cheers, josch
