Description
For example, the debathena-rs 10.0.3~ubuntu13.04 binary package should specify Source: debathena-rs (10.0.3), which actually exists, instead of the default debathena-rs (10.0.3~ubuntu13.04), which doesn’t exist as a source package. Apparently geofft wrote a related patch ( DebianBug:681292), although we could also do this by hacking sbuild or dpkg-genchanges or whatever.

My patch got merged into sbuild 0.64.0-1, in Debian unstable.
Getting this running on Debathena involves doing an Ubuntu merge; there are some mildly ugly patches in there, but we need the ugliest (running setup hooks as root). Anders also points out that we'll need the necessary version of dpkg-dev (1.16.5, present in squeeze-backports, wheezy, and quantal) running in our chroots. I'm happy to call this bug fixed if we just fix it in the current Ubuntu and Debian development release.
