Yes: I did it because debuild bailed out on detecting source changes
between 3.5.4~repack and 3.5.4~repack-1 (or suchlike). I'm sorry that
the git history is messy; upstream changed their mind about 3.5.4
after I'd pushed the first 3.5.4 import, which meant there was nothing
I could do to write it out of history. It may have been a bad choice
to import the second tarball, but on the other hand that's the only
way to make the recorded md5sum match against what's on upstream's
servers. :/
