deb(-src) http://jeroen.a-eskwadraat.nl/sw/debian/EXPERIMENTAL sid tar
Tested with really-soon-to-be-uploaded lintian, and by dpkg -i'ing with
sarge's tar, with sid's, and with this NMU's tar. As intended, only
sid's version is broken.
My thanks go to:
- Ingo Saitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, provided patch
- Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, made and tested
checks that are now in lintian
- Andreas Barth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, for motivating us to fix this
