an evil act ;)  iirc that would also trigger a lengthy list of warnings
from dpkg-source if it happens to run 2nd time within the source tree,
or am I mixing it up?

atm may be yes... but then it would be needed for nuitka maintainer to
monitor also scons current state regardless copyrights/licenses to
assure debian/copyright being up-to-date.  so imho it might be somewhat
of a burden for no good reason

not surprising that I have missed it -- only a few packages installed on
my laptop have +ds or +debian  (especially in contrast to +dsfg)... here
is a quick look at winners of '+SUFFIX':

      4 bzr
      4 doc
      5 l
      5 repack
      7 debian
      8 cvs
      9 ds
     17 nmu
     28 git
     39 svn
    129 dfsg
    340 b

what is ds standa for btw?   debian source?

thanks for the pointer... I usually used debian/README.Debian-source
