Hello!

I sometimes read something like "as we can now easily provide pristine
source packages...".

I wonder how I can provide the original tar ball if it

a) has not the right name (ok, could rename it)

b) does not extract in the right directory (for example, foo-version instead
foo-version.orig).

Thank you for your help!
Marcus
