Yes, I thought of it actually because, on my side, I almost dropped running the build step alone: I extract the .dsc out of the gbp repository, then run autopkgtest against it, for which the first step is the build. Eventually, the package has no tests and reports so at the end, but that is after a build attempt any way. > For the sake of completeness, previously I would run piuparts locally, > but regularly ran into false positives that weren't reflected on the > tracker.debian.org page for the package. I should revisit that as well. Good point, reprotest also went in my mind but, unless the sponsored upload was to address a reproducible build issue, these tests are usually a bit more heavy to carry I think. > > My bad, I really should run a complete lintian check, especially > > right before hitting the "Send mail" button after wrapping up my > > RFSs, notably in case of last minute small change.

I must admit it's not the first package I work on which has this hint. However, last time I checked, reading the description left me in a state of: "hm, when in doubt, don't touch this". Having a look specifically at hyphy-common, I agree the marker should do good here. I will reconsider this for my next modifications.
