Uhmmmm, I don't agree with this sentence. ;-)

Sorry.

Pah, there is no need to sorry.  Come up with some half bottle
of Spanish read wine and tell me some funny storry about cats and
I will forgive anything. ;-))

  b) Only (re)generate when asked to do so explicitly

AK.

Updating stuff below the debian dir in the get-orig-source target seems
wrong to me:  I would expect that target to only deal with, well,
getting the original source as a compressed tarball.

I can not parse this sentence (do not understand whether you agree
or disagree with the get-orig-source approach) and what are your
reasons.

Do you use get-orig-source in some automated routines?  Then I would be
interested in understanding those too - for the same reason.

No, I don't if you don't call the "make dist" as described in [1]
which simply masks the "make -f debian/rules get-orig-source" as
"automated".

Kind regards

         Andreas.
