    Hi Tony,
    
    Thanks for the explanation, there's one thing though, I configured
    sbuild to run lintian. The package created by sbuild is really
    clean.
    
    Now there was a problem in the original tar ball. It contained links
    in the config/m4 directory, I stupidly checked those in in git and
    they ended up in the tar file.
    
    The problem was reported for the source package and somehow sbuild
    strips out the links while gbp buildpackage tries to include the
    links in the source package.
    
    regards, -maarten
