    debdiff: Add support for new --no-check option
    
    The debdiff command can compare a couple of Debian source packages
    (.dsc), but it needs to unpack them first with dpkg-source. That
    command will check the checksums and the signatures.
    
    The problem is that letting dpkg-source verify the signatures can be
    confusing for users when we are sure the provenance of the .dsc is from
    a signed and verified Debian repository, as the signatures or the keys
    that made them might have expired, or been revoked, the keys might be
    using weak algorithms, or the keys might not even be present in the
    keyrings if the holders are no longer project members.
    
    In the context of a signed repository their primary purpose is to
    transfer the trust anchor from the uploader to the archive software,
    which can then handle metaindices resigning, key rotation, expiration,
    etc, which do not suffer from the problems with a one-time static
    signature.
    
    It would then be helpful to have an option that can be used to request
    passing --no-check (f.ex.) to dpkg-source so that it avoids doing such
    checks (when we can guarantee the safe provenance of the .dsc), in a
    similar way how apt passes it too on «apt source».
    
    This is a blocker to be able to fix #1016087 in apt-listdifferences.
    
    Closes: #1016135

testing migrations
  • excuses:
    • Migration status for devscripts (2.25.26 to 2.25.27): Waiting for test results or another package, or too young (no action required now - check later)
    • Issues preventing migration:
    • ∙ ∙ Too young, only 1 of 2 days old
    • Additional info (not blocking):
    • ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/d/devscripts.html
    • ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for devscripts/2.25.27: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, i386: Pass, ppc64el: Pass, riscv64: Pass, s390x: Pass
    • ∙ ∙ Reproducible on amd64 - info ♻
