Not sure, try it. You can also use the reprepro commands directly, to include .deb’s without having a .changes file. > P.S. > Regarding your zhone git repo. > I can't understand what for there are 3 code branches. > What is wrong with just using pulls from upstream git as 'upstream' branch, > and one more 'debian' branch? The rationale is that Debian packages are diffs against an upstream tarball. Tarballs ususally differ from upstream’s VCS (e.g., they contain Makefile.in and configure). So from upstream I create the tarball, which is tracked in upstream-dist, and the debian branch is based on that. Consider what would happen if upstream would only publish their "make dist" generated tarballs and keep their VCS hidden. The we’d have debian and upstream-dist (maybe with a different name). But in fact, we do have access to their VCS, so that’s an extra branch. Maybe it’s overkill, I’m not sure. Some packages (fso-frameworkd) have scripts in debian/ that make the handling of that a little easier.
