I tend to use "debuild" from devscripts, primarily because it automatically runs lintian. If dpkg-buildpackage gained native support for invoking lintian, it could do so on the unfiltered changes file, and then emit the filtered changes file. Would you consider including support for that in dpkg-buildpackage? - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
