+1 It would be good to amend Debian policy in this respect - having a consistent format for -source packages - if you find it appropriate. I would even go further and I would try to have all (build-)essential packages provide a consistent -source package, for easier work on bootstrapping $distribution from source. >> What I'd recommend is copying over ../$source_$version.dsc and files it >> references into the -source binary package; if someone isn't happy >> about reading from ../, or has a better idea, they will speak up :-) If there is no standardized way of doing so, anything you do might conflict with others work and it would probably be considered as a hack.
