so, if a debian .orig.tar.gz has the same md5sum like on tar.gz on
sunsite, it is a pristine source. if it has a different md5sum, it could
be :
a) a modified tar.gz
b) a orig.tar.gz created by debian
as far as i understood, pristine sources should add more security, so we
can directly compare our md5sums with those of sunsite and other
servers. but where is the sence, if we never now, if a file is pristine
source, or a source modified by us ?
i know : we can look into the tar, and if it unpacks in *orig/, we
modified it. but some name convention or so could be better ?
