Thanks. The build wrapper commands probably have other behaviours which only make sense in the context of uploading to Debian. We could special-case --force-orig-source easily enough, but ideally we would come up with some overarching mode for building for something like fasttrack. Wanting to use 'dgit sbuild' to build binaries for uploading there, in order to ensure the binary packages match up to Git, seems like a legitimate use case. -- Sean Whitton
