Generating orig tarballs from the upstream tarballs
---------------------------------------------------

You may use the debian/upstream2orig script to get debian orig tarballs from
the ones supplied by upstream. The script will take care of:

* determining language and version from the tarball filenames;
* stripping incompatible characters from the language IDs;
* hard linking the upstream tarballs to appropriate debian original tarballs;
* extracting the tarballs to appropriate subdirectories in the debian source
  tree;

In order to use debian/upstream2orig script, just pass paths to the upstream
tarballs as arguments and the script will do the rest. For example:

  $ debian/upstream2orig ../tarballs/kde-l10n/kde-l10n-{ar,bg,ca}-4.4.1.tar.bz2

produces:

  $ ls -1 ../kde-l10n*
  ../kde-l10n_4.4.1.orig-ar.tar.bz2
  ../kde-l10n_4.4.1.orig-bg.tar.bz2
  ../kde-l10n_4.4.1.orig-ca.tar.bz2
  ../kde-l10n_4.4.1.orig.tar.bz2
  $ ls -1 -d *
  ar
  bg
  ca
