Well, I was hoping that uscan would not simply create new tarballs, but
rather removing it from the tarfile, which seems to be deterministic:

$ zcat haskell-mtl_2.1.2.orig.tar.gz | md5sum -
bac0c479109021b9d2b3696a0b001f5a  -
$ zcat haskell-mtl_2.1.2.orig.tar.gz | tar --delete mtl-2.1.2/mtl.cabal | md5sum -
0ef3b46f5e345521fd40bc634e0fc1d1  -
$ zcat haskell-mtl_2.1.2.orig.tar.gz | tar --delete mtl-2.1.2/mtl.cabal | md5sum -
0ef3b46f5e345521fd40bc634e0fc1d1  -
$ zcat haskell-mtl_2.1.2.orig.tar.gz | tar --delete mtl-2.1.2/mtl.cabal | gzip -n | md5sum -
909d962dacabbf1c5430df2ac1c20ef3  -
$ zcat haskell-mtl_2.1.2.orig.tar.gz | tar --delete mtl-2.1.2/mtl.cabal | gzip -n | md5sum -
909d962dacabbf1c5430df2ac1c20ef3  -

(This is probably equivalent to what Mike does in python.)

Of course I could change my workflow to cope with a non-deterministic
"uscan --download", so this is not very important. But then, this thread
is all about what level of convenience we allow ourselves, and what we
spend our time on.

Greetings,
Joachim
