source.changes vs i386.changes

[Malte Forkel <malte.forkel@berlin.de>]

Hi,

I recently noticed that when I'm packaging software sometimes a
i386.changes file gets created, and sometimes a source.changes file gets
created.

I couldn't find an explanation in the New Maintainer's Guide or in the
Policy Manual. I guess its something to do with the setup or type of the
package, but can't figure out what. Also, I'm curious about the
ramifications for the local repository I store these packages in.

Could someone please explain?

Thanks,
Malte
