man dpkg-buildpackage isn't very clear cause it says:
"-sa forces the inclusion of the original source;
-sd forces its exclusion and includes only the diff."
So at this moment you think that -s flag is an option for original source, but then,
under an other section:
"-psign-command
When dpkg-buildpackage needs to execute GPG or PGP
to sign a source control (.dsc) file or a .changes
file it will run sign-command"
