The way the new source tarball is prepared is breaking our package git
due to conflicts additionally it looks like the tarball was prepared
simply by doing git archive which includes unnecessary file. I've told
Santhosh about this and promised to push the fix so the package
updation need to wait till I get upstream tarball in right shape.

Cheers
