Not really. The debian branches of all of my packages[1] are based off the upstream git repository, which is what I also use to review new upstream releases and generate the .orig.tar.xz file for the archive. I could not care less if that file is not bit per bit identical to the upstream one (the git trees have signatures), or even if it does not contain the same files (this is usually better, so I do not need to carry around files which we like to rebuild anyway).
Actually I use gbp.conf to make sure that pristine-tar is disabled. [1] except than the openbsd-derived ones, because CVS. -- ciao, Marco
