Do you have a test-case to reproduce this? Because I tried to reproduce the problem and I did not manage it, at least not with a "3.0 (quilt)" source package. I'm running git master (+ multiarch) but I don't think it has any relevant difference. I modified a file, ran dpkg-source -b, it failed with: $ debuild -S [...] dpkg-source: info: local changes detected, the modified files are: zim-0.53/PKG-INFO dpkg-source: erreur: aborting due to unexpected upstream changes, see /tmp/zim_0.53-1.diff.FeqVUc Then I moved the .orig away and ran dpkg-source commit: $ mv ../zim_0.53.orig.tar.gz ../zim_0.53.orig.tar.gz.disabled $ dpkg-source --commit . misc /tmp/zim_0.53-1.diff.FeqVUc dpkg-source: info: utilisation des options depuis zim-0.53/debian/source/options : --extend-diff-ignore=(^|/)locale/[^/]+/LC_MESSAGES/zim\.mo$ --extend-diff-ignore=(^|/)xdg/hicolor/.*\.png$ --tar-ignore=debian/fake-home dpkg-source: info: les modifications locales ont été enregistrées dans un nouveau patch: zim-0.53/debian/patches/misc (The messages are in French but it just worked) > Based on the man page I'd expect the three argument form of > dpkg-source --commit to roughly copy the third argument into > debian/patches, possibly adding a header, and opening it in an editor. > Then add to the series files. That's what it did here.
