Oh! It hadn't occurred to Sean or me that this would need separate
support in cowbuilder.
pbuilder maintainers:
you were very resposive in #904716 (which was this issue wrt pbuilder)
so I hope you will appreciate me simply reassigning this bug to
cowbuilder.
If you think implementing this may take a while, or is a bad idea for
some reason, please let us know. In that case it might be sensible to
change dgit to treat cowbuilder and pbuilder differently in this
respect, or something.
In the meantime, gregor (and anyone else reading this):
I think a workaround is to pass this command-line option to dgit:
--cowbuilder!:--no-source-only-changes
This assumes that your cowbuilder is not configured to do source only
changes by default. If it does then I think you may have to adjust
that, because dgit is of course only invoking cowbuilder to build
binaries (presumably for your formal test build), and if you wanted to
do a source-only upload you would just use dgit push-source.
HTH.

Ian.
