But dpkg-buildpackage -F does not generate source.changes, it only
generates the binary changes file.

It also says that:

  Specifies the build type from a comma-separated list of components

The expected behaviour is that it will generate both, just as pdebuild
does.

The same applies to dpkg-buildpackage -g and -G (--build=source,all
and --build=source,any)

I have to confess I find this notion to be a bit strange. :) More so
given alias mappings given. I guess I should emphasize that the
arguments to --build (or their equivalent aliases) get combined to
form a single build type? Or what do you think would have made this
more clear?

My expectation is that a --build=source build (and --build=source,all,any is a special case of that) will generate a source.changes file.

What is strange about that?
