Hi Amul,

>From my perspective get-orig-source does not have any reasonable payload
and is just "undirtying" the original tarball (which should rather
itself contain some main source dir.)  Do you see any chance to convince
upstream to deliver tarballs following the de-facto convention

   <name-of-software>-<version-of-software>/<here_comes_the_code>

If upstream has strong reasons to keep the tarball that way in principle
dpkg-buildpackage can also cope with this (as far as I know - I never
had to deal with this) - you just need to unpack once in a proper dir.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
