The _source.changes is generated when you build the package locally. Make sure you have "$build_source = 1;” specified in your sbuild config file. https://wiki.debian.org/sbuild#Setup The file will be named something like: ibus-avro_1.2+git20230914-2_source.changes > 3.

Debian Wiki Yes, I would mention that in the RFS. Typically, once your code looks good, the sponsor will grant you access to the repository so you can merge the code yourself. -- Soren Stoutner soren@debian.org
