Hello,
Whenever I use pristine-tar, I'm getting the following warning:

I've reported this as a bug, but since pristine-tar is unmaintained I
don't except any quick fix.
I saw this a few months ago and filed https://bugs.debian.org/805488 after
a bit of debugging -- it seems like it's specifically the result of uscan
/ mk-origtargz calling gzip --rsyncable, and pristine-tar not knowing how
to handle that. Probably it's the same thing; you can try by manually
un-gzipping and redoing with regular gzip.
