dealing with non-standard upstream packaging?



Hi,

I was wondering if there is any info about best practice in the
situation where upstream source packaging doesn't use the standard
foo-0.1.2/ inside of foo-0.1.2.tar.gz scheme?

I suppose repacking the tarball/etc before using dh_make is enough, but
is there a standard way to make this a bit more automated for new
upstream releases?

Another, question: why do some orig.tar.gz files contain a tarball that
looks to be the upstream source, instead of being a copy of the upstream
source? gaim for example.
