    This procedure failed:

      --no-lintian --no-sign
      This package has a Debian revision number but there does not seem
      to be
      an appropriate original tar file or .orig directory in the parent
      directory;
      (expected one of geant4_10.7.0.orig.tar.gz,
      geant4_10.7.0.orig.tar.bz2,
      geant4_10.7.0.orig.tar.lzma,  geant4_10.7.0.orig.tar.xz or
      geant4.orig)
      continue anyway? (y/n) y

    I tried adding --no-tgz-check, but that didn't help, either.
