Nice!

Looks good, except for one issue:

% tar tvf trydiffoscope-64.tar.bz2
drwxrwxr-x root/root         0 2016-12-09 11:08 trydiffoscope-64debian/

Notice how it's called "trydiffoscope-64debian/" rather than "trydiffoscope-64/debian/".
The fix for this is to add a trailing slash to the argument to the
--prefix option; that is: change «git archive --prefix=foo-42» to
«git archive --prefix=foo-42/».

Thanks for setting this up.

Cheers,

Daniel
