I guess the line between keeping the diff.gz bloat and orig.tar.gz constant with upstream is a gray area. For example, I've had to re-tar the Visual Boy Advance sources just now because it extracted as VisualBoyAdvance-1.7.1 and not visualboyadvance-1.7.1, as dpkg-source expects (or at least prefers.) Is that not justified? I agree, though, in general one Makefile probably wouldn't justify repacking. -- Joshua Kwan
