I'm not entirely sure what you mean by the long changelog entry for the binary .changes file. But ISTR that sbuild builds a different .changes for the source, and a quick check seems to confirm that one does not get the stock dpkg-buildpackage options that can be accepted by dpkg-genchanges passed through. > It would be great to address that in order to properly support source-only > upload workflows. > In fact, I don't even know were the source.changes file is being generated, > since is not reported > by sbuild. I guess, something for sbuild to fix, then. :) Thanks, Guillem
