Package: dpkg Version: 1.17.27 Severity: normal Dear dpkg maintainers,
In this commit: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/dpkg/dpkg.git/commit/?id=d92794f4a8db43959b06d4191860dcc27e5ddcbf dpkg-source ignore changes to .gitreview files before building. This is a very good feature, which is mandatory in order to build in a Jessie environment (even when using a Sid sbuild chroot). In multiple cases, it is a good idea to have the build host to use Jessie even if the chroot is Sid. Therefore, it is important to have this feature of ignoring .gitreview. It'd be awesome if you agreed to add this feature to Jessie. I can also discuss the mater with the release team. If you do agree, then I will reassign this bug to the release team. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
