You might have misunderstood me. I advocate requiring either
- package pristine upstream
- include a shell script which creates an orig.tar.gz
(not "the", as creating an identical file is impossible, but one
which ends up with the same overall md5sum as detailed in my last mail)
- a note in the copyright(?) file explaining what has been done
in order of preference, but NOT deprecating the latter options.
I am sorry if my original email led you to assume otherwise.
