[PATCH] kbuild: deb-pkg: require debian_revision when creating source package
From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Tue Mar 11 2025 - 15:01:40 EST
Debian Policy [1] specifies the version format as follows:
[epoch:]upstream_version[-debian_revision]
Here, the presence of the debian_revision part indicates a non-native
package, while its absence indicates a native package.
Kbuild adopts the source format 3.0 (quilt), meaning the kernel is a
non-native package and therefore requires the revision portion.
This commit prevents the creation of an invalid source package when
KDEB_PKGVERSION contains no hyphen.
