Upstream includes a set of git submodules in its build process. I intended to merge all these submodules in a single scipy_1.10.0.orig-submodules.tar.gz. This tarball is created with a script[2] which makes sure that the exact directory structure as it is used by upstream is conserved. This directory layout is needed in the build process. Unfortunately `dpkg-source -x` extracts the content of the submodules tarball into a subdirectory submodules/. Is there any trick to unpack this tarball right into the root? Otherwise I need to do some symlinks workaround in d/rules to provide all files where these are needed. Kind regards Andreas.
