Hi,

I was looking at sugar-moon-activity, and noticed that as of
0aa7d7b4ca9388993f8d54c8f645cc3ccaa5afd8 (in pristine-tar), the package
contained what appeared to be a repacked tarball rather than the one
provided by upstream.

Git snapshots and repacks are only to be used as a last resort. Whenever
possible, we should use a tarball unmodified from upstream. In this
case, http://download.sugarlabs.org/sources/honey/Moon/Moon-11.tar.bz2
should be used as the orig.tar.bz2.
