It is a shame that dpkg-source prints an unhelpful message, but so
many things with source packages are unhelpful...

I have added a new check for this in dgit, which I hope will detect
and report this situation, and do so before dgit has made the
situation worse by proliferating any erroneous origs.

The message looks like this:

  dgit: multiple representations of similar orig example_1.0.orig.tar:
    example_1.0.orig.tar.xz: in .. 
(/home/ian/things/Dgit/dgit/tests/tmp/import-linkorigs/dupes)
    example_1.0.orig.tar.gz: in build-products-dir 
(/home/ian/things/Dgit/dgit/tests/tmp/import-linkorigs/dupes/example/../bpd)

  dgit: error: Duplicate/inconsistent orig tarballs.  Delete the spurious ones.

This is currently in a local branch here.

Ian.
