Package: dpkg-dev Severity: wishlist Version: dpkg/1.14.25 Currently, it is not trivial to have dpkg-buildpackage (or debuild) output a build package to a directory other than '..'. Support of a --output directory option with a default of '..' would avoid other tools having to parse the .changes file generated to move output files to a desired directory. [And would also avoid stomping on existing files even if one were to parse the .changes file properly.]
