Package: dpkg Version: 1.18.24 I recently updated my development computer to Ubuntu 17.10 and a change introduced in dpkg 1.18.18 is annoying especially on Ubuntu which only allows source-only uploads.
dpkg-buildpackage now fails if build dependencies are not installed unless the -d or --no-check-builddeps flags are passed. Please enable that option by default when -S or --build=source is used. I build my binary packages with sbuild, but do source-only uploads with "debuild -S".
