Hi, After reviewing #902856 and the recent thread, it doesn't feel like a fix on the dpkg side is in sight, but perhaps I'm just being pessimistic. This behavior (ignoring -sa and -v$version) has been driving me crazy, so thank you to Pierre-Elliot for contributing a patch. In my opinion, the options to dpkg-buildpackage are stable enough to warrant accepting the patch as a work-around until dpkg has been changed. After all, sbuild doesn't have to support every possible use case. Here we are talking about some primary use cases. In the meantime, could we bump the severity of this bug to important? Or at least update the manpage to document the limitations of --force-orig-source and --dpkg-source-opts and --debbuildopts? By the way, one of the suggestions in that thread is to use "dpkg-buildpackage -S" - but that requires that build-deps are installed, which is one of the key reasons I am using a chroot in the first place. Thank you for your work on sbuild! tony
