Thanks for the diff.  I'm not sure where the different tarballs
have originated from--maybe one was a prerelease test tarball?

The definitive release version is the signed distribution/schroot-1.7.0
tag from git://git.debian.org/git/buildd-tools/schroot-dist
If you run
  git archive --prefix=schroot-1.7.0/ distribution/schroot-1.7.0 > schroot-1.7.0.tar
this will give you the release tarball.  And this should match
  http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/schroot/schroot_1.7.0.orig.tar.xz
exactly.

(This is a separate repo from the main repo due to the size of the history)


Regards,
Roger
