Actually, in this case, I did change the contents of the tarball.  I
believe I should have changed the source version as well.  I think
convention is to add something like +ds1 or +repack1.

Since I had a little bit of free time this week I have this roadmap:

  * Update kfreebsd-10 package to gcc-9 (done).
  * Add version 10.3 man pages into kfreebsd-source-10.3.
  * Build man pages related to kernel headers from
    src:kfreebsd-kernel-headers instead of src:freebsd-manpages;
    that way the man pages are in sync with the actual version of the
    headers, but mainly: if k-k-h builds some arch-indep package, then
    k-k-h could go back into sid, so that bootstrapping becomes possible
    again.  (Then maybe Helmut could keep it on jenkins.d.n).
  * Similarly, get freebsd-utils back into sid.
  * Update the debian/copyright file for kfreebsd-10, then kfreebsd-11.
  * Get kfreebsd-11 through the NEW queue *maybe*

Although I'm only really focusing on kfreebsd-10 at first, to get kbsd
bootstrappable and debootstrappable *at all* with the least effort.  The
switch to a newer kernel is way bigger project than I probably have time
for.  But maybe then someone else feels like doing it!
