Commenting \.orig$ from boring file and running dbp-importdsc again
seemed to fix the problem.
Still, .orig.tar.gz files are supposed to be make distclean clean
anyway. As such, there shouldn't even be any boring files in there in
the first place. Running dbp-import{orig,dsc} with empty boring file
might be the sensible thing to do.
Maybe have an option to import with an empty boring file. Or would
that expose too many details to the user?
Or maybe dbp-import* should ask here "Import this file?" I don't know
if that'd make sense.
Just some ideas I get about this one. The current behaviour seems
rather unelegant to me.
I wouldn't want to remove or rename content from the original package
only because their name happens to match darcs's boring names list.
It's not their fault that they're boring.
