Hello, ftpmasters requested a new field in the .dsc files to ease their work. I just implemented it and it will be part of dpkg 1.16.0.
This has been done on short notice so I wanted to inform policy people so that you can review the discussions and the design in case anyone has objections/suggestions before it's in wide-spread usage: http://bugs.debian.org/619131 It looks like this: Package-List: src:dpkg admin required dpkg admin required dpkg-dev utils optional libdpkg-dev libdevel optional libdpkg-perl perl optional udeb:dselect admin optional (Here I just marked dselect as being an udeb for a test...) The purpose is so that they can setup the overrides for all possible binary packages as soon as they have reviewed the source package (i.e. and avoid NEW for subsequent binary uploads introducing binary packages that they have not yet seen).
