Hi. I'm not sure exactly when you think it should do this. Do you mean when the user says "dgit clone" ? Or do you mean when building a source package ? It's possible that dgit could be extended somehow in these directions but I don't think it's entirely trivial, depending what is wanted. Ian. (for my reference: #869675 is perhaps related)
