No, dpkg-source copes with this situation fine, if it extracts in toplevel, or has a wrongly-named single directory, it'll make sure it gets in package-version/ directory anyway. Repacking should normally only be done if it contains undistributeable stuff, or non-free stuff in case of a main or contrib package. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
