That's odd indeed, because I did use Ubuntu's orig tarball when I
prepared the package for Debian.

It seems that the sponsor recreated the orig tarball instead of using
the one I committed to git.

Anyways, I diff'ed both orig tarballs (after extraction), and they are
the same. So if there is no way to use the Debian tarball, then just use
the Ubuntu tarball as follows. To elaborate, I imagine that you do
something like:

pull-debian-source swt-gtk, then apply my patch, then: debuild -S -rfakeroot

Before running debuild, just fetch the orig tarball from Ubuntu, and
replace Debian tarball with it.
