Version: 2.1.1-6.2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Hi Gerrit,

runit's upstream tarball puts the version number in the second path
component:

 $ dpkg-source -x runit*.dsc
 $ cd runit-*
 $ ls
 debian  runit-2.1.1
 $ tar -tf ../runit_2.1.1.orig.tar.gz | cut -d/ -f1-2 | uniq
 admin/
 admin/runit-2.1.1

This means the sources are not as easy to find as they ought to be on
extraction and causes tools like tardiff to treat a change in version
number as deletion of all files under one path and creation under
another.

Please feel free to tag this wontfix if there are good reasons not to
put the version number in the first path component.

Thanks for runit :)
Jonathan
