retitle 566230 dpkg-buildpackage: support passing arbitrary options to 
sub-commands
tags 566230 - patch
thanks

Hi,

No, I'm not going to add all the dpkg-source options to dpkg-buildpackage.
And that option in particular is meant to be stored in
debian/source/options and not to be given at build time.

I would like however to enhance dpkg-buildpackage to support passing
arbitrary options to each sub-command but I'm not sure what would
be the proper syntax. Maybe something like this:

dpkg-buildpackage --to-dpkg-source <opt1> [<opt2> ...] -- -us -uc
(it would also have --to-dpkg-genchanges)

OR

dpkg-buildpackage --to-dpkg-source <opt1> --to-dpkg-source <opt2> -us -uc

OR

dpkg-buildpackage --dpkg-source-opt="<opt>" -us -uc

OR

<put your own proposition here>

Guillem (or anyone reading this), do you have any preference/suggestion on
the syntax for such a feature ?

Cheers,
