The best thing to do would be to get the upstream debian dir into
proper shape and keep it that way. Theres no reason for upstream not
to have a perfectly working debian dir with you watching out for
upstream that it stays in good condition.
If at all possible do _not_ repack the orig.tar.gz so the md5sum
matches. Saves you lots of troubles on updates too.
