Package: devscripts Version: 2.15.8 Severity: minor $ dch --local +moo '' dch warning: your current directory has been renamed to: ../devscripts-2.15.8+moo1 dch warning: no orig tarball found for the new version.
It was a native package, so lack of .orig.tar was not something that warranted a warning.
