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.
