According to the dpkg-source man page, you mean include-binaries.
Is there a complete specification of these new source control files?
(Exact syntax, complete list of control files, etc.) We'll need it to
write Lintian checks, and dpkg-source doesn't seem to have that
information gathered into one place.
Also, the dpkg-source man page implies that Format in the source section
of debian/control is just another way of specifying the format:
--format=value
Try first the given format for building the source package. If
used multiple times, they are tried in order. It doesn’t
override any explicit Format field in debian/control but it does
override any format given in debian/source/format.
but from this thread I gather that it shouldn't be used. What should
Lintian do in this area?
