Comment 9 for bug 458724

I would like to see orig.tar.gz building support. What do you think about changing the recipe format to something like that:

# bzr-builder format 0.3
lp:bzr
merge fix-build lp:~bzr/bzr/fix-build
tarball 1.0+{time}
merge packaging lp:~bzr/bzr/packaging
build 1.0+{time}-0ubuntu1

There will be a new command "tarball", which creates the orig.tar.gz, the parameter is the version. The build command will be at the end and will create the debian package. The version is there as parameter. This format would help to split the recipe part from the Debian packaging part.
