Please don't do that.
If you repack I have no idea if you have put a malware in there, and I need to
diff the tarfiles' content just to see what you have done. Which I don't want to
do.
I'd accept sponsoring a repacked file only to remove some non-free files from
the archive, so that it can be uploadable in Debian, but no other reason.
Can you reupload without repacking?
