So there is no reason to exclude binary packages. They might come in handy later (binary packages containing debug symbols, for example). You can write a .changes manually, but it might be easier to use the changestool(1) command that is shipped in the reprepro package. Rebuilding the package is another fine option unless the build ecosystem has changed too much in the meantime. If the whole thing feels complicated, just put it in `chroot_local-packages` and we'll deal with the rest with 0.15. -- Ague
