I could imagine the patch below, which I started looking at some time ago
but never
got around to coming back to, could form a start at implementing this.
It was just the obvious paths within the script itself, but the various
calls to dpkg-source,
dpkg-genbuildinfo, dpkg-genchanges, that all accept output options, still
need to be
modified to pass this new argument.
