Now I checked the import script at mentors.debian.net and also did a few
test uploads. If a 'dsc' file mentions an orig tarball then the old
tarball is replaced in every case. So if the package maintainer would
upload a package built with "-sa" (including the orig tarball even with
non-1 revisions) then everything should work well.
I have no good explanation for the situation Neil mentioned though. The
package maintainer must have uploaded a package with an orig tarball.
But then the orig tarball was changed and an upload without an orig
tarball was done that mentioned the orig tarball though.
How come the .dsc file mentions an orig file that is not uploaded? All
files mentioned in the .dsc file must be uploaded. I'm confused.
