<p>Hi,<br>
</p>
<p>Currently, if the upstream code is changed (anything other than
debian/*).. When dpkg-buildpackage is run, an automated patch is
created. This is a really nice feature, but it is very easy to
miss this. I have seen multiple uploads where these
auto-generated patches have been included accidentally (I have
also been guilty of this).</p>
<p>This can be overridden locally with:<br>
$ cat ~/.devscripts<br>
DEBUILD_<wbr>DPKG_BUILDPACKA<wbr>GE_OPTS=<wbr>"--source-<wbr>option=<wbr>--abort-<wbr>on-upstream-<wbr>changes"</p>
<p>I think the chance of someone wanting an auto-generated patch
is low, and would like to suggest the default is changed to fail
to create the source package.</p>
<p>The alternative fix would be a dput hook.</p>
<p>Thoughts?<br>
</p>
<p>I have raised a bug to track this:<br>

I actually use this as a feature. I modify the upstream code,
create a source package, then rename the patch and add DEP-3 info. <br>
