Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.5.26
Severity: normal

When running "git-import-orig --uscan", with a watch file that specifies a
repacking script, then git-import-orig will import the wrong file (it
imports the original and not the repacked archive).

An example is the libpostscript-file-perl package[1], which includes the
following watch file:

version=3
opts="dversionmangle=s/\+dfsg//" \
        http://search.cpan.org/dist/PostScript-File/ \
        .*/PostScript-File-v?(\d[\d.]+)\.(?:tar(?:\.gz|\.bz2)?|tgz|zip) \
        debian sh debian/repack.stub


The "repack.stub" script repacks the tarball to remove some non-DFSG-free
files, and renames the tarball to libpostscript-file-perl_2.10+dfsg.orig.tar.gz.

Unfortunately, looking at the code I can't see an easy way of getting the
filename of the repacked tarball, unless we define a standard way for
repacking scripts to output the new filename. Or perhaps we should look at
adding "native" repacking support to uscan?
