The original tarball is foo-<version>.tar.xz, so the symlink is probably
needed for the pristine-tar import so that the file name is correct
(assuming that pristine-tar doesn't have a way of setting the file name
via a command-line option), so I guess I'm asking for the symlink to be
removed after that import is complete rather than left around.
