- It is not 100% clear how you obtained the sources. The original
tarball is bz2 compressed. Yours is gz compressed. I suggest you switch
to xz compression in source/options and for the upstream tarball and
document modifications either in README.source or you might want to
write a get-orig-source target for debian/rules.
The orig.tar should either be exactly the tarball from upstream or
have non-free content removed (or maybe hundreds of MB of embedded
code copies). Just recompressing the tarball with a different
compression format isn't a valid reason to differ from upstream here.
If you want a different compression format, get upstream to switch.
get-orig-source is definitely needed for the non-free/code copies
removal case.
- Some of the fonts are non-free. Those have to be removed in the
original tarball and not only in the final package.
This would be a reason to modify the upstream tarball, then you can
use xz and add a get-orig-source. Removing the fonts and using xz
should be pushed upstream though.
