The man-page does not contain such an information. Please take a look at it yourself. If this information is part of a different man-page, then you should add a see-also section. > The current approximation is right in more cases than the previous one > (which included the source for all -0, -0.1 and -1 uploads). -1 uploads > after -0.1 NMU would have included upstream sources while it was not > desired, now it detects that the previous changelog entry is the same > upstream version and doesn't include the sources by default. > > Please use "-sa" if you want to force the inclusion of .orig. files > because you included changelog entries that do not concern Debian.

Maybe a one-line information, that checks for a situation like this one (no need to be perfect), can be output by dpkg-genchanges to make maintainers aware of this behaviour. I really did not expect this behaviour. Regards, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
