Re: non-pristine sources under pool/

[Magnus Damm <damm@opensource.se>]

The tars differ because of the first directory:

gnu source:  bash-2.05b/
orig source: bash_2.05b.orig/

I compared the output of ztf by hand and the order of 
the files seems the same, just the starting directory differs.

Just curious, would the original tar.gz work?
Or does the debian build system require .orig-extension?

Thanks /
