Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.13.10
Severity: wishlist
The manual page of dpkg-buildpackage(1), which is same a
dpkg-source's, reads:
-b Build: pack up a source tree. One or two non-option arguments
should be supplied. The first is taken as the name of the
directory containing the unpacked source tree. If a second
argument is supplied it should be the name of the original
source directory or tarfile or the empty string if the package
is a Debian-specific one and so has no Debianisation diffs.
...
IT is not entirely clear what the first argument should be. From phrase
"the unpacked source tree" it is not clean that the tree can include
/debian etc. other user changes.
Phrase it in more explicit manner like:
-b Build: pack up a source tree. One or two non-option arguments
should be supplied. The first is taken as the name of the
+ directory containing the unpacked source tree with user's
+ modifications and included <tree>/debian directory. If a second
argument is supplied it should be the name of the original
source directory or tarfile or the empty string if the package
