That should probably happen regardless, and is because dpkg doesn't have the proper support for it. It's independent of whether to add Source: lines when unneeded in any other case. If you bin-NMU, you *are* building from a source called -N.0.1, because you changed the changelog. dpkg-dev could have some means to build with different version number from the same source package, or any other (probably a bit hacky) way to achieve this. That there's special code in dak to cope with this issue somewhat heuristically is a sign of that the bin-NMU issue is deeper. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
