Please note that pristine-tar is orphaned/dead upstream since about a
year and both the issue of it still using the xdelta1 syntax and some
other bugs are unlikely to be fixed until someone shows up to maintain
it.
The option above may no longer be needed with xdelta3, since from
reading the manpage it seems it no longer automatically decompresses
its input. But there are likely other incompatibilities.

Achim.
