I guess this is because the package is native

the problem is that you can leave the tarball as it was before, and add quilt patches,
but I'm not sure this is the right thing to do...

anyway please run a debdiff between the two dsc files and add them as quilt patches, lets
see how it goes :)

(it might be the best way to deal with future bugs)
