With format 1.0, there are many -s* options precisely to control this (you may want to try -ss or -sk). Those options do not exist anymore with newer formats however. Newer formats also don't wipe out the .orig dir, they create temporary directories near the source tree. > - The orig tarball is unpacked just to be removed afterwards.

We must take care where the diff file is generated as this one is put into place with rename currently but otherwise it should not create any problem.
