Not sure what was discussed with xwax package (didn't follow that) but 
there should be no need to repackage source tarball. Instead, suppress 
the file in git-buildpackage.

Reason for that is that a) non-git-managed builds (e.g. official builds 
on build daemons) are not affected by git hints, but b) our git-managed 
builds get confused by upstream-infused git hints but we can suppress 
that locally in our git management tools.
