Thanks Charles, that helped. Now I just have a remaining problem, when I
want to create the source package. The fastx-toolkit_0.0.14.orig.tar.gz
created by "pristine-tar checkout fastx-toolkit_0.0.14.orig.tar.gz"
is not consistent with the upstream source generated by
"git archive 0.0.14 | | tar -xf -". I obtain the following errors when
trying to build the source package after a successful build of the
binary packages:

debian-med-packaging (or offline), let me know.
