Package: dgit Version: 12.4 Severity: whishlistHi! I'm experimenting a bit with the new debputy build driver, which allows building packages via a declarative manifest and without debian/rules. Of couse, this is all at early stages and somewhat experimental.
I've noticed that dgit is currently unable to build packages using this new alternative dpkg interface, since it relies on debian/rules to be present (I don't fully understand why) as it tries putting it into a temporary tar archive right before building.
To reproduce: $ git clone g...@salsa.debian.org:debian/oaknut.git $ cd oaknut$ dgit build Format `3.0 (quilt)', need to check/update patch stack
dpkg-buildpackage: info: source package oaknut
dpkg-buildpackage: info: source version 1.2.2+git20240301.94c726c-1
dpkg-buildpackage: info: source distribution unstable
dpkg-buildpackage: info: source changed by Andrea Pappacoda

examining quilt state (multiple patches, linear mode)
tar: debian/rules: Cannot stat: No such file or directory

/home/tachi/dev/deb/oaknut debian/source/format debian/rules debian/control
debian/changelog
dgit: error: subprocess failed with error exit status 2
Would it be possible to avoid including the rules file into the temporary archive, or doing so only when present?
Bye!
