[Bug 510312] [NEW] bzr builddeb takes tarball from upstream when it should use Debian

[Scott Kitterman]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bzr-builddeb

Just trying to merge unbound from sid and when I built the package for
the first time, I got:

$ bzr builddeb -S -- -sa -us -uc           
Building using working tree                                                             
Looking for a way to retrieve the upstream tarball                                      
Using apt to look for the upstream tarball.                                             
apt could not find the needed tarball.                                                  
Trying to use get-orig-source to retrieve needed tarball.                               
dh get-orig-source                                                                      
dh: Unknown sequence get-orig-source (choose from: binary binary-arch binary-indep build clean install)
make: *** [get-orig-source] Error 1                                                                    
Trying to run get-orig-source rule failed                                                              
Using uscan to look for the upstream tarball.                                                          
unbound: Version (1.4.1) available on remote site:                                                     
  http://www.unbound.net/downloads/unbound-1.4.1.tar.gz                                                
  (local version is 1.4.1)                                                                             
unbound: Successfully downloaded updated package unbound-1.4.1.tar.gz                                  
    and renamed it as unbound_1.4.1.orig.tar.gz                                                        
Building the package in ../build-area/unbound-1.4.1, using debuild -sa -us -uc -S

It won't matter in this case, but sometimes there is more than one
source for a tarball and they aren't always md5sum identical (this seems
common for Perl modules on CPAN for some reason).  It is important to
have an md5sum matched tarball from Debian, so in case like this, bzr
builddep should prefer the tarball from Debian.
