Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.230.4
Followup-For: Bug #867822

I have run into the same problem and would appreciate if this issue was
resolved. For one, there's always a (good) reason for people to be doing
source-only uploads. There are many Debian derivaties.

Secondly, there's a large number of packages I'd love to see only be
uploaded through source-only uploads. Especially the ones like node-*,
and the Java ones.

Third, like many others have said, for many packages it is a complete
waste of resources. For example, I had the same problem when maintaining
Virtualbox. And, as you see below, the same problem with my current
package: user-mode-linux

And then, in DBug #928924, you could see another good reason why some
want source only uploads.

So please, it'd really help a good many DDs, who have reasons to prefer
source-only uploads.


Thanks,
Ritesh
