Yes, but for this package, this needs to go below "lib/addon", with the 
additional complication that "lib" is a separate tarball as well 
(because it is a git submodule). So basically I have .orig.tar, 
.orig-lib.tar and .orig-lib-addon.tar, except that that doesn't quite do 
what I want.

For now, I just concatenate all the tarballs, with adjusted paths, 
because that is what uscan does, but in the long run I'd like to 
separate these out (and teach uscan how to do that), because it makes 
the files more verifiable.
