Package: devscripts
Version: 2.14.6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Some upstream build the tarball by adding dir and files to it,
sometimes introduces duplicated dir entries.

For example:

mkdir -p test/dir1
tar cfz test-1.0.tar.gz test/dir1 test/dir1
mkdir -p test/debian
echo 'Format: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/' > test/debian/copyright
echo 'Files-Excluded: dir1' >> test/debian/copyright
mk-origtargz --package test --version 1.0 --copyright-file test/debian/copyright test-1.0.tar.gz

Expected output:

Successfully repacked test-1.0.tar.gz as test_1.0.orig.tar.gz, deleting 1 files from it.

Actual:

tar: test/dir1: Not found in archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
mk-origtargz: error: tar --delete --file ./test_1.0.orig.tar test/dir1/ test/dir1/ gave error exit status 2
