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.
The hint that we have observed is that the problem is only with files
in the utf8 sub-directory. So, at some point we suspect that umask
was involved somehow. We could still experiment with forcing
permissions in the utf8 directory in the dh_fixperms stage...
I'll try that later today.

May I borrow your time traveling device? ;-)
I've lost mine somewhere in the future ...

Now it will be:
"0.0.20111206"

Any help needed for this or do you think `lintian -i` gives anough
helping information?
I have not taken care of the PWD ones (just replaced with CURDIR),
and the one about misc-depends, was fixed when adding the metapackage.
I'm now getting the following ones:
W: vista source: debhelper-but-no-misc-depends vista-0.0.20121206
W: vista source: maintainer-script-lacks-debhelper-token debian/vista.postinst
W: vista-0.0.20121206: empty-binary-package
BTW,
I forgot to mention that, following Bhaskar suggestion, we now
have two packages:
A) vista-0.0.20121206
B) vista (a metapackage that points to A).
I will appreciate a review here from Debian developers,
because I'm not sure that I did that right.... (the metapackage)

This is done now:
A user can set it its environment by doing:
source /var/lib/vista/profile/vista_profile

Still have to do this testing.
While testing sounds good I'd like to add the item
e) consider splitting into sensible units
Yeap,...
the package now is 314Mb...
We will bring this topic to our weekly call on Thursday,
and see what VistA experts suggest.
