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?to bloat .orig.tar.gz if there is an easy way to avoid it, while also making 100%-proof that contained copy of 3rd party code is used instead of system-wide one.You can "rm -rf" it early in the build process to assure that. E.g., if you use dh, override_dh_auto_configure is a convenient place. :)
That's right. Fortunately, you can make dpkg-source shut up by adding appropriate extend-diff-ignore to debian/source/options.
what is ds standa for btw? debian source?
