Have you not considered that option or > am I missing a disadvantage of it? I tried to think in another level that would cover more packages than helper tools. The problem I see with dpkg-dev is that it's not "the way" to build packages (you can simply call ./debian/rules binary AFAIK), and I'm not sure where I would create them; I guess dpkg-gencontrol would be the most appropriate place, but we have the same problem than with helper tools: not every package uses it. So I don't see any benefit with using dpkg-dev, and some problems (like packages being stripped when dpkg-dev is called as dpkg-buildpackage may not have been used to build the package). > Thanks for working on this, it is really great to see it happening finally. Thanks for your feedback! Emilio
