Oh!

I tried `git-deborig' (which Sean had mentioned to me before) and it
didn't invoke pristine-tar at all.

Now I know that it is, apparently, the Debian way to have
difficult-to-use primary functionality with a plethora of competing
wrapper scripts, sometimes even competing wrapper scripts within the
same package (devscripts, in this case).

But could we at least have a few cross references in the manpages ?

I notice that there is also a program `mk-origtargz'.  Is that
different from `origtargz' ?

Ian.
