Mathieu already answered, but please do not run tar directly, use instead
  git archive --prefix=opencascade-6.5.0.dfsg/  upstream \
  | bzip2 --best > ../opencascade_6.5.0.dfsg.orig.tar.bz2

This will preserve file attributes, and the tarball will be identical
whether you or me (or anyone else) generate it, it will only depend on
the commit 'upstream' is pointing to.
