NAME
syncpackage - helper to prepare .changes file to upload synced packages
SYNOPSIS
syncpackage [options] <.dsc URL/path or package name>
DESCRIPTION
syncpackage generates a changes file to be directly uploaded to Ubuntu
primary archive or PPA starting from a pristine Debian package.
syncpackage allows you to upload files with the same checksums of the
Debian ones, as the common script used by Ubuntu archive administrators
does, this way you can preserve source files integrity between the two
distributions.
syncpackage will detect source tarballs with mismatching checksums and
will automatically create fake syncs instead.
