I noticed. I was working on it as well. Would it make any different to
you to put all these changes into one patch? I think that makes it
easier to keep track of it after a while.

I never bother to figure out how to use gbp as I am a happy user of
pbuilder and have multiple hooks. Not sure how to configure gbp to use
my pbuilder setup. I didn't even know that our archive usually is
compatible with gbp.

No idea why (did you pull the pristine-tar branch), but you can do it
manually:
$git checkout pristine-tar
$pristine-tar checkout fpc_3.0.0+dfsg.orig.tar.gz
$mv fpc_3.0.0+dfsg.orig.tar.gz ..<br></pre></blockquote><div>Here the issue is that it should do that automatically.
