I think both things are independent. If we go for what I proposed, you still can exchange dpkg-source (the script) to do something more elaborted than now. > I would really like to have things like multiple patches supported <aol mode...> But there's no need to couple both things and to delay src-deps due to need for discussion on the source format. > The current format is indeed extensible enough to put all this stuff > in (and you proposal looks fine), but I would be happier if we did > this properly and in combination with a new format. What is unproper? Where does the new source format influence source dependencies and vice versa? Roman
