Debian source packages are the *source* form of everything in Debian; therefore, they are (per definitionem) “correct”, as they are taken and copied, not (re)created. >(I guess it's probably that this would require pristine-tar which would pristine-tar is not perfect and does not work on all architectures or with all workflows, not even all VCSes. This does not sound desirable. Standard workflow for a “second” upload is to download the previous one, reusing the same origtgz, creating a second Debian source pak‐ kage with it, and then using debdiff to validate the changes, anyway. (I do. Don’t you?) So I don’t think that’s something that needs to be explored. bye, //mirabilos -- 13:22⎜«neurodamage» mira, what's up man?
