For the rest of the regular archive, --changes-option=-S is definitely
*not* broken.  I use that regularly, and strongly prefer it.  It allows
me to document what i managed to build, while still ensuring that the
distributed binaries are created by debian's buildd network, and not my
own machinery.

I would be pretty sad if --changes-option=-S was explicitly deprecated
in any part of the debian archive.
