That's probably possible in theory but this is not my problem. I could
also easily have copyied the tarball to ../tarballs to work around this.
However, *creating* a tarball out of no information would be definitely
the wrong way to go since there is such a tarball with a certain MD5sum
in the Debian archive and thus chances for creating a second one with a
different MD5sum would be quite high and thus this procedure definitely
not acceptable in the given situation.

I know that there is DEP-14 but Charles has introduced "something else"
in a certain set of packages and I keep on trying to warm up with this
but failed so far.
Kind regards
