Package: devscripts Version: 2.17.6+deb9u1 Followup-For: Bug #831521 Just thinking aloud here:
I wonder if it would make sense to create a debhelper plugin to add a get-orig-source sequence, with a sequence of commands, e.g. something like: dh_uscan dh_unpack dh_repack dh_exclude_files dh_strip_icc_profiles Packaging teams could then add commands to do common options e.g. the Java team might want a command to automatically exclude jar and war files. The commands could be overriden in debian/rules to cope with bespoke situations. Just a thought. Christopher
