Actually what I did was to to change the .'s in the module version to -'s.
It works fine.
-sn means "generate a native package" to me, I fail to see how that would
be relevant and helpful in your case. You don't want your package to be
native...
Well this combination of software doesn't exist outside of Debian but ok.
Ok, in your case there's no such pristine tarball but it's not really
more complicated to create the tarball than to create the empty directory.
You do it once, and then you just rename the previous .orig tarball.
Right. It's an annoyance not a show stopper.
What I can do however is add a supplementary option like
--create-empty-orig that would help bootstrap the process for your
specific case (that would not encourage repacking an upstream source
tree).
That would be wonderful. Thanks!
