Have you considered the debian/rules 'get-orig-source' target as an alternative way of achieving this? If done right, that would allow you to do this kind of checking *and* still follow recommended practice of using the upstream tarball as yours. I'm envisaging the 'get-orig-source' could download the upstream tarball and rename it, along with the checksum and signature files, do any checks, and exit with an error status if they don't match. If everything *does* match, the checksum etc. files are removed, leaving the upstream tarball with the standard name. -- \ “I have a large seashell collection, which I keep scattered on | `\ the beaches all over the world.
