@christian.ehrha...@canonical.com Your "pull-debian-source qemu" does not use gbp built-in feature to use the upstream branch for downloading the sources and instead downloads them from *httpredir.debian.org <http://httpredir.debian.org>*, resulting in *very different sources after having extracted both 'qemu_2.8+dfsg.orig.tar' *(the compression format is different).
With *pull-debian-source qemu*: pull-debian-source: Downloading qemu version 1:2.8+dfsg-4 pull-debian-source: Downloading qemu_2.8+dfsg.orig.tar.xz from httpredir.debian.org (6.715 MiB) pull-debian-source: Downloading qemu_2.8+dfsg-4.debian.tar.xz from httpredir.debian.org (0.109 MiB) With *gbp*: gbp:info: Creating qemu_2.8+dfsg.orig.tar.gz from 'upstream' gbp:debug: Building upstream tarball with compression 'gzip' You are working around the issue without knowing it. So the issue seems to come from the sources in the upstream branch of qemu git repository.
