Dear dpkg Maintainers,

this is more or a less a partial "reopen" of
https://bugs.debian.org/65699, which fixed has been fixed only partially
in 1.17.6.

What I neither found in the 1.17.6 changelog entry nor in 1.17.17's
dpkg-buildpackage's man page, but which I like with debuild a lot, are
automatic build logs to ../$package_$version_$arch.log. (Due to #764963
I'm currently forced to use dpkg-buildpackage instead of debuild and
that's one of the issues I ran into with that.)

This seems to be one of the missing steps to make debuild obsolete. :-)

Hi!

Yeah, kept meaning to reopen just to clone it, to preserve history, but
the BTS is broken and does not allow that for those bug reports. :(

I guess a new bug report is better given the circumstances, so that
other people know what's going on, and so that it does not get
forgotten, thanks for that.

Right, that's planned.

It might still be useful as a helpful shim where new stuff can be
tried out. Or where different defaults can be implemented, etc.

Thanks,
Guillem
