Package: devscripts
Version: 2.7.0
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/debuild

Recently on debian-mentors a discussion[1] took place about the
default options to 'debuild'.  There at least one developer stated[2]
that they always override the default signing with debuild -uc -us in
their personal override files and then debsign later after testing.  I
also always override, but on the command line, and proposed[3]
changing the default options.  It was suggested[4] that I file a
wishlist bug.  Here it is.

Would it be possible to change the default options to debuild so that
the options -uc -us are the default?  And change the documentation to
suggest using debsign after debuild so that the developer is directed
along the path of build, test, sign?  This would make the simple
command 'debuild' the simple case and the default for most developers.
I believe it simplifies the process.
