Exactly regenerating tarballs is, similar to regenerating man pages that contain a date, possible but not that easy. Ignoring this non-relevant difference of regenerated tarballs, I was able to regenerate an exact copy of the waf script: $ rm -rf midori-0.4.3 $ dpkg-source -x midori_0.4.3-1.dsc >/dev/null 2>&1 $ cd midori-0.4.3 $ sed < waf -e '1,/^#==>$/ d' -e '/^#<==$/ d' | tr -d '\n' | sed -e 's/.//' -e 's/#[*]/\n/g' -e 's/#%/\r/g' > waf.orig.tar.bz2 $ tar tjf waf.orig.tar.bz2 wafadmin/Logs.py wafadmin/Constants.py wafadmin/py3kfixes.py ... $ (sed -n < waf -e '1,/^#==>$/ p'; echo REPLACED BY ENCODED TAR.BZ2; sed -n < waf -e '/^#<==$/ p') > debian/waf.tmpl $ wc -c debian/waf.tmpl 4097 debian/waf.tmpl $ (sed -n < debian/waf.tmpl -e '1,/^#==>$/ p'; printf '#'; perl -pe < waf.orig.tar.bz2 's/\n/#*/g; s/\r/#%/g;'; echo; sed -n < debian/waf.tmpl -e '/^#<==$/ p') > waf.regen $ md5sum waf waf.regen eca3f4738d809c42cecad2e9ec39a1cc waf eca3f4738d809c42cecad2e9ec39a1cc waf.regen I assume that it should be possible to develop a DFSG conforming solution based on above hack. The requirements to sed extend POSIX's specifications, but given that it could be replaced with perl and we use GNU sed in Debian this shouldn't be a problem.
