Bug Description

Binary package hint: dput

Hi,

Uploading to lots of PPAs means that you will end up with
lots of entries in ~/.dput.cfg.

As PPAs have a standard format, with only user/team name
known dput could be patched to support something like

dput --ppa id *source.changes

which would make uploading to PPAs simpler.

I plan to work on this at some point, but I thought I'd
file it first to see if anyone else got there first.

Thanks,

James
