Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.19.0.4 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Upstream software hosted on kernel.org usually has the uncompressed tarball signed, but not the gzip or xz compressed one [1] [2]. I guess the goal is to sign a single tarball instead of two. dpkg-source does not seem to support this and expects the signature to be on the compressed tarball. Would it be possible to support such a scheme on the dpkg-source side?
