Sounds very good!

BTW, I have some news about this issue: I do *not* think that there is
a difference between debuild and cowbuilder. I tried debuild on a
Debian testing system with the very same effect. So it might rather be
a difference between Debian stable and testing/unstable. My idea was to
create a copy of lintian and add some debugging lines into it to find
out exatly what is done and which call to tar causes the trouble. May
be this is more enlightening.

Any help needed for this or do you think `lintian -i` gives anough
helping information?

While testing sounds good I'd like to add the item
e) consider splitting into sensible units
