Package: dpkg
Version: 1.18.10
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
I have several packages that use additional .orig archives for program
modules, but these are almost always expected in a nested subdirectory for
the package build, e.g. "modules/foo". It would be nice if there was a way
to ship this as a separate archive instead of repacking the source.
