    if [ $opt_source -eq 0 ]
    then
        gc_args=-b
    else
        if [ $opt_binary -eq 0 ]
        then
            gc_args=-S
        fi
        if [ $opt_fullsource -eq 1 ]
        then
            gc_args="$gc_args -sa"
        fi
    fi
    echo Running dpkg-genchanges $gc_args
    dpkg-genchanges $gc_args > ../${fname}.changes
    sign ../${fname}.changes

I guess it is initialized with:

opt_binary=0
opt_source=1
opt_fullsource=0

--> dpkg-genchanges -sa
