The best way to tell if the provided source is actually the source is to build from source and compare the Debian and upstream build artefacts. Also, security and QA folks would not be happy if they patched the source to fix a bug and rebuilding the package did not actually fix the problem due to the lack of building from source. That said, the ftp-masters don't require actually building the source during package build, just that it is possible to build from source using only packages in Debian main. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
