Package: devscripts
Version: 2.17.6+deb9u1
Followup-For: Bug #831521

Just thinking aloud here:

I wonder if it would make sense to create a debhelper plugin to add a get-orig-source sequence, with a sequence of commands, e.g. something like:

dh_uscan
dh_unpack
dh_repack
dh_exclude_files
dh_strip_icc_profiles

Packaging teams could then add commands to do common options e.g. the Java team might want a command to automatically exclude jar and war files. The commands could be overriden in debian/rules to cope with bespoke situations.

Just a thought.

Christopher
