Package: dpkg Version: 1.23.0 Severity: minor I saw this in a CI log [1]:
225s dpkg-source: warning: --auto-commit is not a valid option for Dpkg::Source::Package::V3::Native I think it would be more sensible to treat --auto-commit as "auto commit *if necessary*" (which is already what it does for "3.0 (quilt)") and therefore say that for formats that don't need "committing", it is a no-op. So I don't think it makes sense to print a warning about it - passing this option when it's not needed is normal. A tool might reasonably always pass --auto-commit without even caring what the source format is. We surely don't expect the authors of a script that calls dpkg-source to inspect the source format to try to decide whether to pass --auto-commit or not. Thanks, Ian.
