Subject: dpkg-dev: dpkg-source -x and tar which unpacks into `pwd`

Date: Tue, 20 Jan 1998 10:34:36 -0500

Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.4.0.20

Here's a patch for dpkg-source which allows -x to handle a source
tar which unpacks into the current directory.  I hope you'll consider
including it or something like it in the distribution.

This was fixed with a checkin to cvs on Oct 22, 1999, which was part of dpkg
sometime after 1.4.1.17.
