This works fine, but there's no tag for this version (or you may have
forgotten to push tags), so I just generated one (from your latest
without the .bak files) and pushed it.

Hmm, checked out the pristine-tar branch, but the pristine-tar command
failed with:

$ pristine-tar checkout ../opencascade_6.5.0.dfsg.orig.tar.bz2
fatal: Path 'opencascade_6.5.0.dfsg.orig.tar.bz2.delta' exists on disk, but not in 'refs/remotes/alioth/pristine-tar'.
/usr/bin/pristine-tar: git show refs/remotes/alioth/pristine-tar:opencascade_6.5.0.dfsg.orig.tar.bz2.delta failed
