Yep, I think tarballs for WiP packages is no problem IF they're packages with a separate debian/ directory in a VCS. Probably this hits all the packages maintained via Subversion. In the case a package is maintained via Git with pristine-tar I see absolutely no reason to keep a separate orig.tar.gz. Assuming that pristine-tar works as expected this should also be the most space efficient way to store upstream data ;) So, what to do? ATM I'm convinced by Vincent and will remove "my" needless tarballs in a few days if there won't arise any objections. Cheers - Fuddl
