Having tried hacking dak myself, I want to especially thank you for looking
into that!

You are probably aware of #138409?

It scrolled out of my IRC history already but I think guillem said in
#debian-dpkg that releasing a dpkg version with buildinfo support was blocked
by coordination with dak because he wants to make sure that dpkg support aligns
with what dak ends up supporting.

Thanks!
