Yes, even tar.lzma. In theory, since dpkg-source supports it - but dak
doesn't, and therefore uploads to Debian are not yet allowed. Sigh.

What's the advantage of a tar in tar? I'd rather just use the code from
Master/tlpdb/bin/tl-update-imate (function do-tar or how it's called)
and create source.tar.gz, but name it
texlive-bin_2009~svn$revision.orig.tar.gz. After the release, the
create-orig-source target in debian/rules can download source.tar.bz2,
recompress and rename.

Done, although not tested.
