AOL!!! See <http://bugs.debian.org/382673>. Lenny's dpkg-source can already exctract foo_0.5.9-1.diff.gz foo_0.5.9-1.dsc foo_0.5.9.orig.tar.bz2, however the coresponding support for generating these beasts in dpkg-buildpackage is missing. cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
