[linux] Ubuntu packages don't ship all translations

[Olivier Tilloy]

Pre-release ubuntu packages for Moovida 1.0.8 only ship compiled translations for es, fr, it, pl, pt_BR.
But the tarballs also contain complete translations for cs, gl, de and hu.
The build log doesn't mention those languages at all when compiling the po files, not even an error message.

The problem seems to be that the successive builds in my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~osomon/+archive/ppa) for 1.0.8 re-use the same tarballs (those of the first pre-release build), even though the tarballs have been updated in the meantime.
Not sure whether this is a build in Launchpad's build system or if it is an expected behaviour and I should also bump version numbers of the tarballs between each build, or if there is a way to force uploading the updated tarball.

Following up a discussion I had on the Launchpad users mailing list about this issue (thanks to Siegfried Gevatter for his help):

It seems deleting the packages doesn't help.
The solution lies in renaming the source tarballs to e.g. moovida-plugins-bad_1.0.8.rc3.orig.tar.gz.

1.0.8.rc3 build is pending in my PPA.
