Hmm. It seems I have cunningly tricked myself into continuing the
discussion opened in Message-Id: <87hcdqbrf5.fsf@benfinney.id.au>
<URL:http://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/87hcdqbrf5.fsf@benfinney.id.au>.
Message header fields updated accordingly, to re-join the thread.
The discussion was never resolved beyond "re-specify the entire
cumbersome regex of dpkg-source, modified slightly for this
directory".
I will have a look at a patch to dpkg-source to allow for this
particular directory. That solves the problem only on my system,
unless and until all others building the package get an updated 'dpkg'
incorporating the patch. So "patch dpkg-source" is similarly
sub-optimal.
In the meantime, I'd still appreciate alternative answers.
