Please read the entire thread, in particular [1]. If you want to do a source-only upload without building binaries at the same time, just use `dpkg-buildpackage -S`. I really don't think `pdebuild --debbuildopts -S` is a useful thing to be doing; it's a waste of time with added complexity. We support source-only uploads using pdebuild/pbuilder with --source-only-changes, so please do not erroneously assert that we do not support source-only uploads. We do. But using a chroot to just build a source package is, in my opinion, pointless (unless using something like --use-pdebuild-internal, but that's fairly obscure and not so well maintained).
