an evil act ;) iirc that would also trigger a lengthy list of warnings
from dpkg-source if it happens to run 2nd time within the source tree,
or am I mixing it up?

atm may be yes... but then it would be needed for nuitka maintainer to
monitor also scons current state regardless copyrights/licenses to
assure debian/copyright being up-to-date. so imho it might be somewhat
of a burden for no good reason

not surprising that I have missed it -- only a few packages installed on
my laptop have +ds or +debian (especially in contrast to +dsfg)... here
is a quick look at winners of '+SUFFIX':
4 bzr
4 doc
5 l
5 repack
7 debian
8 cvs
9 ds
17 nmu
28 git
39 svn
129 dfsg
340 b
what is ds standa for btw? debian source?

thanks for the pointer... I usually used debian/README.Debian-source
