Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.14.25
Severity: normal

dpkg-source cannot unpack old style ssource packages using
orig.tar.bz2 anymore, it seems to have been briken when introducing
v3.

LANG=C dpkg-source -x libgcrypt11_1.4.4-4.dsc
dpkg-source: warning: extracting unsigned source package 
(libgcrypt11_1.4.4-4.dsc)
dpkg-source: extracting libgcrypt11 in libgcrypt11-1.4.4
dpkg-source: error: unrecognized file for a v1.0 source package: 
libgcrypt11_1.4.4.orig.tar.bz2

(Testing against a hand-constructed dsc file, just using gcrypt as a example,
since I had the package unpacked.)

This means that *lenny* cannot unpack orig.tar.bz2. etch could, and
the original plan at that time was to have support for _building_
orig.tar.bz2 in lenny and then after lenny's release to open up the
archive for uploading. Now it looks like we will have to wait after
squeeze.
