True, on the other hand the Developer's Reference suggests in
6.7.8.2:
A repackaged .orig.tar.gz
[..]
4. should use <packagename>-<upstream-version>.orig as the name
of the top-level directory in its tarball. This makes it possible
to distinguish pristine tarballs from repackaged ones.
Is this recommendation moot?
