I think it should be opt-in rather than opt-out. I've had too many occasions where I accidentally introduced a new file, say cscope.out/cscope.files, and it ends up creating an unwanted diff. For that reason, I always work on packages in git. This way I get control over what changes I want in and out of the package. That said, the DEBUILD_DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTS="--source-option=--abort-on-upstream-changes" method seems to work pretty well, so I think I'll just keep that in my .devscripts. -- Kind regards, Loong Jin
