This may be a dumb question, but looking at this example of different binNMU
changelogs [1], I wonder what is the point of having a log specific to each
build system ...
In other word, can't we have a binNMU log generated by *the* system that will
trigger the rebuild ? So the log would be common for all binary packages.
I.e. a binNMU'ed packages would have a log like:
+++++++++++++
mesa (8.0.5-4+b1) sid; urgency=low
* Binary-only non-maintainer upload; no source changes.
* Rebuild against libffi6
-- Buildd control system <xxx@yyy.debian.org> Sun, 12 May 2013 09:40:10
+0000
+++++++++++++
Changing the bunNMU log would limit the change to our build tools and would
not affect users or dpkg.
Thoughts ?
