This functionality, together with renaming a tarball to the correct name and possibly changing the compression will be broken out in a new tool (uncreatively named mk-origtargz), so you can * unpack the original tarball * create the debian/ directory as usual, including a debian/copyright file with File-Excluded. * run "mk-origtargz ../strangely-named-and-partially-free.tar.gz" which will create <pkgname>_<version>.orig.tar.gz * done Early adaptors are invited to build devscripts from the git repo (http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/devscripts.git) and tell us if this works as expected.
