I meant of course, that the result will be different from the one
upstream. Anyway, what's all this religion about .orig.tar.{x,gz} files
about? Why should we care that much? Should I fear that I will make the
tarball gods unhappy if upstream and Debian orig files are different? I
still don't get the point... (I do understand the importance of
reproducibility of building the orig file *in Debian* though)
