Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.19.0.4
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Upstream software hosted on kernel.org usually has the uncompressed
tarball signed, but not the gzip or xz compressed one [1] [2]. I guess
the goal is to sign a single tarball instead of two. dpkg-source does
not seem to support this and expects the signature to be on the
compressed tarball.

Would it be possible to support such a scheme on the dpkg-source side?

Thanks,
Aurelien

Given the previous rationale, why supporting this would be rather
cumbersome, but more importantly would lower security, I'm closing
this now.

Thanks,
