Unless there is a huge a gain in tarball size I would keep the pristine source. It is rather nice to be able take debian's tar.gz and verify with md5sum or a detached gpg sig that upstream's tarball is identical. OTOH if I needed to repackaged the source tarball anyway since it contains non DFSG free material I would remove the binaries too. cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
