Ahh - you are right, I used the following local change:

$ svn diff
Index: rules
===================================================================
--- rules       (Revision 16448)
+++ rules       (Arbeitskopie)
@@ -36,4 +36,4 @@
 #         Alternatively you can use
 #          . debian/get-orig-source
 get-orig-source:
-       uscan --verbose --force-download --repack-compression xz
+       uscan --verbose --force-download --repack --repack-compression xz


This also became necessary with the current devscripts implementation.
My original code realised that since some files were removed a
repackaging is simply *required* and thus this option was redundant.

So, we actually are using the same command with different results which
is really strange.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
