Yes, I compiled it with "git-buildpackage" both with and without 
"--git-pbuilder". It compiles fine with both, so no need to do anything. 
I was just saying, we cannot represent all changes from the old 
"vorbis-tools_1.4.0-2.diff.gz" as quilt patches (changes to the debian/ 
directory), nor is that necessary (I think for 3.0 format the upstream 
debian/ is removed automatically).

Cheers,
