Bug#879795: devscripts: [mk-origtargz] top-level directory doesn't match Developer's Reference

[Jeremy Bicha]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.17.9
User: devscripts at packages.debian.org
Usertags: mk-origtargz

The Debian Developer's Reference § 6.7.8.2 says

"A repackaged .orig.tar.{gz,bz2,xz} … should use
packagename-upstream-version.orig as the name of the top-level
directory in its tarball. This makes it possible to distinguish
pristine tarballs from repackaged ones."

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch06.en.html#repackagedorigtargz

Using the Files-Excluded feature of debian/coypright with uscan
appears to create the tarball with a top-level directory of
packagename-upstream-version (without the trailing .orig).

On the other hand, it feels a bit odd to use the .orig suffix since
it's well not the original tarball but a repacked tarball with files
removed.

Thanks,
