Actually no. I think this needs clarification. The upstream tarball
contains .c .h files and some (non-dfsg-compliant) temporary files.
The repack script removes the (non-dfsg-compliant) temporary files and
move all the .c .h files into a directory called src/. The build
system and friends are added by patches (among those 29 patches).

Exactly, it is called internally by debian/watch.

I think it is okay, just remember to update the version string before
every upload since we cannot *compute* the date string (12.11.2014)
from the version string (14.1). The version string actually means 1st
release in 2014...

I see! I will remove those `#' then.

Great! This time is much shorter though.
