I know.  I swear I was having problems with the other tar file,
though.

If it works, then fine -- as I said, I thought I had been having
problems that were related to the layout of the contents of the
orig.tar.gz file.  

I can apparently just generate new diff.gz and dsc files (with
dpkg-buildpackage -sd) -- is uploading those two files good
enough, or do I actually have to rebuild the debs, as well?

If I don't have to rebuild the debs, can you move them back into
incoming, either now or in a few (hopefully) minutes, when I've
uploaded the new diff.gz and dsc files?

Thanks,

   Claire
