What do you > think? my opinion (which is not authorative) is this: "dpkg-source" can handle such tarballs quite nice, therefore such tarballs are ok. And since they are, "import-orig" should be able to handle this. Or put differently: mk-origtargz prepares a tarball for consumption by dpkg and needs not worry about the „quirks“ (if I may say so) of random other tools people tend to use.
