Please note I did not just unpackage and repackage it again but I also
renamed the directory from 4.0-beta1 to 4.0~beta1 because:
$ dpkg --compare-versions 4.0-beta1 gt 4.0; echo $?
0
$ dpkg --compare-versions 4.0~beta1 gt 4.0; echo $?
1
Should I rename the directory in the .orig.tar and make
tamper-checking more difficult, or not rename the directory in the
.orig.tar and make tamper-checking easier?
