This may be a dumb question, but looking at this example of different binNMU changelogs [1], I wonder what is the point of having a log specific to each build system ... In other word, can't we have a binNMU log generated by *the* system that will trigger the rebuild ? So the log would be common for all binary packages. I.e. a binNMU'ed packages would have a log like: +++++++++++++ mesa (8.0.5-4+b1) sid; urgency=low * Binary-only non-maintainer upload; no source changes. * Rebuild against libffi6 -- Buildd control system <x...@yyy.debian.org> Sun, 12 May 2013 09:40:10 +0000 +++++++++++++ Changing the bunNMU log would limit the change to our build tools and would not affect users or dpkg.
