I have been using this option for years and have not noticed any undesirable 
effects.  I have read over the text you refer to, and it does not make plain 
to me what problems including this option causes.  Could you please be more 
explicit about how this is problematic?

As noted below, this option by itself does not generate a correct 
amd64.changes file.

That is correct.  Properly generating complete source.changes and 
$arch.changes files is an important aspect of the example .sbuildrc on the 
wiki.
