You may want to have a look at how I workaround this issue on Qt-Android. It requires a version 3 d/watch with personal script `debian bash debian/scripts/repack.sh` https://salsa.debian.org/bastif/qt-android/-/raw/qt6.9.1+ds-1/debian/watch?ref_type=heads The required scripts which use the Files-Excluded field of d/copyright are these: https://salsa.debian.org/bastif/qt-android/-/raw/qt6.9.1+ds-1/debian/scripts/repack.sh?ref_type=heads https://salsa.debian.org/bastif/qt-android/-/raw/qt6.9.1+ds-1/debian/scripts/remove-excluded-files.sh?ref_type=heads I try to be as conservative as possible wrt to upstream's origtar Regards Fab
