I’m working with some which also don’t, and find it would be easier
if there were a way to extract a .orig.tar.gz in the same way that
dpkg-source does, even when no .dsc exists. (By this I mean the magic
to ensure a properly named top-level directory, renaming the one from
the tarball, or even moving its content into a newly created one.)
Currently I have to paxtar xaf %f and then F6 (rename) the directory
(in mc) most of the time…
