proposal: pseudo source packages

[heiko@lotte.sax.de (Heiko Schlittermann)]

Hello,

what about releasing pseudo source packages?

What do I mean?  I got the maintainance for the xforms package.  Real
source code isn't available, so the binaries (libs and a form designer)
are stuffed together.  An .orig.tar.gz isn't created.  So every time
I changed some debian related stuff, a complete set of files gets
uploaded:

        xforms_0.81-?_i386.deb
        xforms_0.81-?_m68k.deb
        xforms-dev_0.81-?_i386.deb
        xforms-dev_0.81-?_m68k.deb
        xforms_0.81.tar.gz
        xforms_0.81.dsc

For the first 4 files it's ok.  But the latter?  Would somebody mind, if
I'd remove the debian/ from xforms_0.81.tar.gz and create a
xforms_0.81.orig.tar.gz and then the diffs for the debian changes only?
