What we currently do is as follows: We are writing our own "source"
file within wanna-build, and then call edos-debcheck from there (with
the unmodified list of binary packages). We don't call addsources.py
anymore at all. The newly written packages files are the one that
should be checked, whereas the unmodified ones are the ones that
provide.

I would prefer if we don't have to modify the packages files, but just
the source file before calling edos.

The call is basically:
"edos-debcheck $edosoptions < $sourcesfile ".join('', map {" '-base FILE' ".$_ } @$packagefiles)
