Hi,
Currently, if the upstream code is changed (anything other than
debian/*).. When dpkg-buildpackage is run, an automated patch is
created. This is a really nice feature, but it is very easy to miss
this. I have seen multiple uploads where these auto-generated patches
have been included accidentally (I have also been guilty of this).
This can be overridden locally with:
$ cat ~/.devscripts
DEBUILD_DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTS="--source-option=--abort-on-upstream-changes"
I think the chance of someone wanting an auto-generated patch is low,
and would like to suggest the default is changed to fail to create the
source package.
The alternative fix would be a dput hook.
Thoughts?
I have raised a bug to track this:

Kind Regards,
Dave Walker
