Severity: important
source-only uploads sometimes include a _amd64.buildinfo (or other
architecture). This sometimes causes problems as the amd64 buildd
upload will include a file using the same name.
In particular, it breaks any uploads going to policy queues
(e.g. security's embargoed, proposed-updates) and the sync of uploads
from security-master to ftp-master.
The same is true for maintainer source+all uploads: if the source also
builds arch-indep binaries, the .buildinfo files from maintainer and
buildd might end using the same name.
Please don't include _amd64.buildinfo in source-only or source+all
uploads. Just changing the name is enough to make me happy
(e.g. _source.buildinfo).
It might also be worth having an option to change the suffix of all
such names (.changes, .buildinfo) easily so that buildds could use
_${arch}-buildd.changes or something.
