Right, I'm not sure if my intent was clear. I don't care about the size of the source package, except that I strongly prefer that the .orig. is identical to upstreams. I do not care if I have to delete some generated files in ./debian/rules:clean, even though dpkg-source will warn me, and they will still exist in the .orig.
This approach will, however, get rid of the diffs of generated files from the .diff., because ./debian/rules:clean is called before debuild creates the .diff. Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
