Hi Magnus,
I'm attaching a script that does this for you. It should no longer be a
burden to remove that file from a deeply buried tarball.
Usage:
./prune_pike pike7.6_7.6.112.orig.tar.gz pike7.6_7.6.112.dfsg.orig.tar.gz
Will you try to get this fixed in Lenny?

The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us. We will decide when (and
how) you may access your data; but nobody's threatening your freedom: we
still allow you to remove your data and not access it at all."
#!/bin/bash -ex
prune_nettle ()
{
local nettle=`readlink -f $1`
local tmp=`mktemp -d`
tar -C ${tmp} -xzf ${nettle}
rm -f ${tmp}/nettle-1.14/testsuite/rfc1750.txt
rm -f ${nettle}
(cd ${tmp} && tar -czpf ${nettle} *)
rm -rf ${tmp}
}
in=`readlink -f $1`
out=`pwd`/$2
tmp=`mktemp -d`
tar -C ${tmp} -xzf ${in}
prune_nettle ${tmp}/Pike-v7.6.112/bundles/nettle-1.14.tar.gz
(cd ${tmp} && tar -czpf ${out} *)
rm -rf ${tmp}
