Bug#392715: Upstream source is divided between tarball and diff

[Ben Hutchings]

Package: mesa
Version: 6.5.1-0.1

The upstream release consisted of 3 packages:

d9a555297319bb932a3192952d53d073  MesaLib-6.5.1.tar.gz
c46f2c6646a270911b791dd8e1c2d977  MesaLib-6.5.1.tar.bz2
939eaaff33322bfeafac784402b45f4f  MesaLib-6.5.1.zip
9e4bbe83c007bfbaa67449a81cc3d36a  MesaDemos-6.5.1.tar.gz
0f2794baf7a9d98b22caea9f78c6942d  MesaDemos-6.5.1.tar.bz2
14c77eab9cc7a265c331abf239927c1c  MesaDemos-6.5.1.zip
c5f87c23aaf4eaf1bda0d007ea98366c  MesaGLUT-6.5.1.tar.gz
2525642fe7f454e3e1a1aad01359b406  MesaGLUT-6.5.1.tar.bz2
e33b165c22551e23b58ede8767378543  MesaGLUT-6.5.1.zip

In the Debian archive, mesa_6.5.1.orig.tar.gz contains the files from
MesaLib and MesaDemos.  All the files from MesaGLUT are in
mesa_6.5.1-0.1.diff.gz, aside from a single empty file which cannot be
represented in a diff.

Whoever uploads the next upstream version should take more care to
produce a correct tarball.  I believe current best practice when using
multiple upstream tarballs is to use a nested tarball instead of
reapcking.

Ben.
