It does in all packages build with fpc (or lazarus, I am not sure at
this moment) as far as I can tell. I guess we should file a bug report
upstream about that.

I recommend doing it on every build. That is the easiest way of ensuring
that we can make the file with Debian tools. But if you don't agree,
then yes please a manual target.

I guess we can't get this feature into the d/watch file, can we? Do you
think this is worth a wishlist bug against uscan?

Building and uploading next.
