+Comment: The orig tarball is repacked because upstream contains a deps/
+ directory which bundles snappy and leveldb. On Debian systems we always
+ link against system libraries so we avoid these bundled dependencies
+ altogether and end up with an orig tarball that is smaller and has no
+ lintian warnings.
