I can find no mention of the requirement for an ``orig'' rule in the
package maintainer guidelines. Is it mentioned anywhere? If it is a
requirement then ftp.debian.org:/debian/project/standards/Guidelines
and the `hello' example package need updating.
Is this one of those things that has been discussed on the
debian-devel list but never been put anywhere central?
