Please use xpi-repack (or xpi-unpack) instead of writing something own. > Or download the xpi, unpack the jar and create .orig.tar.gz from it > (including install.rdf file) is enough? xpi-repack was written for converting a xpi files into a source tarball for Debian (doing the extraction of the .jar files).
