I'm probably being thick, but I don't see how to do this -- if I re-
created the .orig.tar.gz file with lowercase names instead, then I
wouldn't be using the pristine source, would I?

Is there some incantation to dpkg-buildpackage to tell it what the
name of the original source directory is (i.e. not `mlib-1.6.1.orig'
but `mLib-1.6.1.orig')?
