Thanks.  I have reproduced this.  Looking at the code, and at my own
attempts, I don't understand how this passes its tests.

I will get back to you.

Thanks.  FYI a reference to the specific git revisions would have been
helpful.  I figured out that you probably meant "master"
(38f0bf714d3d23d969d31810a2fa5c2844d083b7).

I flailed about a bit trying to get gbp-buildpackage to DTRT to make
me the .orig.  It complained about the lack of a 1.5.8 tag.  Looking
through the history I guessed that the right answer was
  git-tag 1.5.8 9d6ae94c885280ebf269ca9e4eb0a162c47037b2

Then
  gbp buildpackage --git-cleaner=: --git-builder='debuild -nc -i -S'
was able to make me an orig tarball (which it did before crashing due
to lack of access to my private key - apparently it wanted to make
a signature, which surprised me).

If the .orig is not unreasonably large, it would save me effort if you
could provide it (under separate cover by email perhaps, or perhaps on
a separate webserver).

Thanks,
Ian.
