Just a small off-topic tangent :), but this could be slightly optimized
with something like (untested):

	git archive --remote='$(REPO)' --prefix='openafs_$(DEBVERS).orig/' \
	    --format=tar '$(TAG)' | \
	    tar --delete openafs_$(DEBVERS).orig/src/WINNT | \
	    gzip -9 > openafs_$(DEBVERS).orig.tar.gz
