Forgive me. Our original idea works great. There is no way
dpkg-buildpackage can do its job, and keep the source and the
installation packages (the name binary is a misnomer) together,
without producing a *.changes file even though it is unsigned. Lintian
also could not analyze both in context without a changes file, even
though it is unsigned and not intended for upload.

May I please merge !246?
