I think it's a bug. Was it you who added .bzr-builddeb folder with Native config? IMHO that shouldn't be in there. And for example revision 36 of the lp:ubuntu/xine-lib reconstructs original tarball just fine and builds fine. You can try $bzr bd -r36 lp:ubuntu/xine-lib At some point branch got the .bzr-builddeb folder with native package option. Since then the orig-tarballs where not imported using pristine-tar. Investigate further and file a bug against bzr-builddeb or udd porojects on launchpad. >>>> Perhaps "bzr help grab-merge" should give recipes for the common diffs >>>> that we want instead of actually generating them? >>> >>> Yes, that would espc. help people less familiar with bzr. >>> >> >> That's documented already in the Distributed Development wiki.
