Hi, I ended up extending https://debaudit.debian.net/ with a new checker, 'git2orig', that checks whether a matching tarball can be extracted from the Vcs-Git repository. See https://debaudit.debian.net/git2orig/ I got the following results for the packages in sid: has_pristine_tar_branch | pristine_tar_worked | tarball_identical_using_pristine_tar | count -------------------------+---------------------+--------------------------------------+------- true | false | false | 2077 true | true | false | 386 true | true | true | 25007 So, out of 27470 packages with a pristine-tar branch, 25007 have an up-to-date pristine-tar branch that can generate the orig tarball in the archive. I think that's quite good. Lucas
