Chapter C. Source packages (from old Packaging Manual)
114
C.1.5
dpkg distaddfile
  adds a file to
debian/files
Some packages' uploads need to include files other than the source and binary package files.
dpkg distaddfile
adds a file to the
debian/files
file so that it will be included in the
.changes
file when
dpkg genchanges
is run.
It is usually invoked from the
binary
target of
debian/rules
:
dpkg distaddfile
filename section priority
The filename is relative to the directory where
dpkg genchanges
will expect to find it   this is
usually the directory above the top level of the source tree. The
debian/rules
target should
put the file there just before or just after calling
dpkg distaddfile
.
The section and priority are passed unchanged into the resulting
.changes
file.
C.1.6
dpkg genchanges
  generates a
.changes
upload control file
This program is usually called by package independent automatic building scripts such as
dpkg buildpackage
, but it may also be called by hand.
It is usually called in the top level of a built source tree, and when invoked with no arguments
will print out a straightforward
.changes
file based on the information in the source pack 
age's changelog and control file and the binary and source packages which should have been
built.
C.1.7
dpkg parsechangelog
  produces parsed representation of a changelog
This program is used internally by
dpkg source
et al. It may also occasionally be useful in
debian/rules
and elsewhere. It parses a changelog,
debian/changelog
by default, and
prints a control file format representation of the information in it to standard output.
C.1.8
dpkg architecture
  information about the build and host system
This program can be used manually, but is also invoked by
dpkg buildpackage
or
debian
/rules
to set to set environment or make variables which specify the build and host architec 
ture for the package building process.
C.2 The Debianised source tree
The source archive scheme described later is intended to allow a Debianised source tree with
some associated control information to be reproduced and transported easily. The Debianised
