I used git-buildpackage-0.6.22, and the full command used was: git-buildpackage --git-pbuilder --git-debian-branch=jessie-backports --git-dist=jessie-backports -v1.8-1 > $ debdiff stretch/intel-gpu-tools_1.15-1.dsc > bpo/intel-gpu-tools_1.15-1~bpo8+1.dsc | wc -l > 37220 Yes, now I see that too. Could it be a bug in the version of gbp I'm using, or did I make a mistake somewhere? Gianfranco, what do you think?

Yes I am subscribed to the list, have read all the rules I've been able to find, and plan to maintain the backport. Cheers, Nicholas
