> 1) add a Compiled-By field to the control-file Aehm, to debian/control?? That doesn't make sense. debian/control contains static infos, whereas who compiled a pkg is dynamic.
Oh, I see, you probably mean the control file of packages. Then we have the following problem: The name of the builder is available only in dpkg-buildpackage and passed to dpkg-genchanges. dpkg-gencontrol never sees it... expect we make some tricks with environment variables or the like. > 2) add an Uploader field (might be different from the Compiled-By) to the > .changes > 3) change the semantics of the maintainer-field in the .changes file What's then the difference in semantics of Maintainer: and Uploader: in the .changes? Maintainer: always the source maintainer, and Uploader: is different only for NMUs? BTW, I'm not the right one to do this proposal, as I'm going to Australia (vacation) this Sunday for 4 1/2 weeks...
