The problem is indeed with mk-origtargz (called from uscan): $ uscan --force-download --no-exclusion $ copy syncterm-1.0.tgz somewhere $ mk-origtargz --exclude-file 3rdp/dist/cryptlib.zip --package syncterm -v 1.0 syncterm-1.0.tgz Successfully repacked syncterm-1.0.tgz as syncterm_1.0.orig.tar.gz, deleting 1 files from it. $ tar -tzf syncterm-1.0.tgz | grep desktop syncterm-1.0/src/syncterm/syncterm.desktop $ tar -tzf syncterm_1.0.orig.tar.gz | grep desktop <no output> And tar --delete is the culprit: $ gzip -d syncterm-1.0.tgz $ tar -tf syncterm-1.0.tar | grep desktop syncterm-1.0/src/syncterm/syncterm.desktop # mk-origtargz calls this $ tar --delete --file syncterm-1.0.tar syncterm-1.0/3rdp/dist/cryptlib.zip $ tar -tf syncterm-1.0.tar | grep desktop <no output> What works is this: $ cat syncterm-1.0.tar | tar --delete syncterm-1.0/3rdp/dist/cryptlib.zip > out.tar --> Would a patch against mk-origtargz that changes to the piped-syntax for tar invocations be accepted (the problem seems to be present in devscripts-master as well). The problem seems to be known to the tar developers [1]: "The `--delete' option has been reported to work properly when tar acts as a filter from stdin to stdout.
