I started to add support for such option some time ago, but it seems I didn't go further: https://git.hadrons.org/git/debian/dpkg/dpkg.git/log/?h=pu/dpkg-genchanges-include-asc Perhaps because then the semantics could be rather strange. Or maybe focused the energy into better diagnostics both in dpkg and lintian. Or maybe because it looked like adding instead a dpkg-modchanges would be better. Cannot really recall why though. :) I'll try to see whether I can come up with an option that is not too confusing. Thanks, Guillem
