This suggestion is based on assumptions that are not true. At the wanna-build level you can schedule only a binNMU for one architecture, higher level tools that schedule rebuilds on all arches do therefore emit one binNMU command per architecture. It might be possible to hack together a solution for what you want, but that would still not solve the other problem of binary-all binNMUs. As already mentioned, the proper solution for binNMUs would be at the dak level with a dcut command[1] - then you have a proper new source package with a new source version and everything will just work without additional hacks. > Ian. cu Adrian [1] or some dedicated service, so that the requester of a 1k package binNMU does not have to download sources for 1k packages and does not have to sign 1k packages
