Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.15.8.5
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/dpkg-source

The dpkg-source manpage says:

       --before-build directory
              This  command  should  be called before any build of the package

What is the "directory" argument to the option? Should it be "command" instead?

Same thing applies to --after-build.

The documentation should perhaps also specify from which directory the
command gets executed, and what arguments it gets, if any.
