"Upstream" tarball
------------------
-Althogh upstream indeed publishes tarballs, the debian package is no
-longer based on these tarballs. The reason for this is that the
-procedure for creating these tarballs makes package maintenance and
-interaction with upstream unnecessary hard.
-
-Moreover, there seem to be different types of tarballs. Official ones
-used for a release and "unofficial" ones that are created for snapshot
-releases, causing further confusion.
+The "upstream" tarball is produced using git-archive from the upstream
+git branch at github:
-Since upstream releases rather seldomly, but we want to distribute
-pre-releases and integrate patches from the upstream svn, the package
-ships a script in the source that is used to create the orig.tar.gz.
