Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.18.15
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Currently one can do

$ dpkg-buildpackage --changes-option=-S

to do a binary build locally, but only upload the source package so that 
buildds build on all arches. Note that this command *does* generate a buildinfo 
file, but does not include it in the changes file.

It would be good to be able to do something like

$ dpkg-buildpackage --changes-option=-SB

to do a binary build locally, but only upload the source package *and* the 
buildinfo file.

This was one idea we had near the beginning of the R-B project. The idea being 
developers could do this, then the buildds could try to match what they built, 
as an extra check. Another advantage is that the upload itself would be reduced 
in size.

(Something other than -SB would also be fine.)
