please consider using pristine-tar for tarball regeneration from git

[leggewie]

please have a look at the pristine-tar command to allow md5sum-identical tarballs to be regenerated from the git repo and a small delta file (which will be committed to a pristine-tar branch)

Oh! Awesome idea. Should this be part of: https://github.com/kpdyer/fteproxy-builder?

[leggewie]

I'd suggest pushing three branches there: upstream, pristine-tar and debian (instead of the usual master which you already use for the more generic building). See also my comment in #138

This will now be used for all future releases.
