Package: dpkg Version: 1.15.6 Severity: wishlist Given that Debian packages are not all built with the same helper in debian/rules, it's difficult to hook something in the build process of all packages. debuild offers hooks at various places before/after each debian/rules call but it might not be enough in some cases.
In particular, one might want to hook a program just before dpkg-deb --build does its work of creating the .deb file. It should be able to do some modifications (recording build information in the package for example) or it could only do some analysis/information gathering. Since we don't want to modify the source package at all, we should probably use an environment variable to indicate what program has to called. Since it might do modifications, dpkg-deb should be verbose and indicate what program it has called as part of the hook.
