It should be documented in debian/README.Debian-source or some similar file. I don't think it's mandatory to give the .orig.tar.gz a special name. > On the other hand, isn't it sufficient to only remove these in the clean > target (thus making them disappear from the .deb), avoiding repackaging > the source tarball ? I think that in this case it is better to cut out the useless components, so that the debian/copyright can be kept more simple, and also that the .orig.tar.gz is smaller. But I think that this is to be evaluated per package. For some packages it could be OK to not repackage the .orig.tar.gz. > > Please don't take this as a nitpicking, I am trying to understand if I > miss something. No problem at all.
