dpkg-buildpackage and joe

[Dale Scheetz <dwarf@polaris.net>]

I am converting the joe package to the new source format and have run into
a strange problem. The first time I run dpkg-buildpackage the .orig tree
is tarred up ok. The second time I run it, it tries to use the tar.gz file
created in the previous run but fails, giving:

 dpkg-source -b joe-2.8
dpkg-source: building joe using existing joe_2.8.orig.tar.gz
dpkg-source: building joe using existing joe_2.8.orig.tar.gz
dpkg-source: error: tarfile `joe_2.8.orig.tar.gz' contains unexpected
object listed by tar as `-rw-r--r-- root/users        0 Jan 22 22:45 1995 
joe-2.8.orig/jmacsrc link to joe-2.8.orig/.jmacsrc', expected
`joe-2.8.orig/jmacsrc'
dpkg-source: building joe using existing joe_2.8.orig.tar.gz

Now, if I untar the orig.tar.gz I get neither of the described files and
the build goes fine.

Whatup?
