It's fine because, for a 3.0 quilt package, "dpkg-source -x" unpacks the .orig.tar.gz, removes all the debian/* files coming from upstream tarball, if any, and then unpacks the *.debian.tar.xz file. Previously, the end result was an ugly .diff.gz containing the difference between "upstream" debian/* files and the new debian/* files. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
