As much as I dislike upstream tarballs shipping debian directories, I really don't approve much of the practice of repacking tarballs just for that reason. If I find something that claims to be the original tarball of passenger 2.0.3 (by having a filename such as passenger_2.0.3.orig.tar.gz), and the checksum doesn't match what I can find on the upstream's ftp site, I get *very* suspicious. -- Soren Hansen | Virtualisation specialist | Ubuntu Server Team Canonical Ltd. | http://www.ubuntu.com/
