An added complexity is that sometimes upstream will add non-DFSG compliant files to their source, and as such we have to repackage the upstream orig tar.gz file to remove these files.
Maybe it's (finally?) time to re-think most-if-not-all of that.As in, in that case our sources are whatever the contents of the Debian-tagged git tree consist of, period end of discussion.
Then we either package that tree directly, or get with what the rest of the world does and don't package a tarball at all. A simple "git pull" from Salsa is perfectly cromulent after all.
I'd wish that one of the DPL candidates' platform included a *way* more aggressive step in that direction than Andreas ended up doing last year, but oh well.
