Agreed in principle. Pristine upstream sources are a good thing.
As I mentioned, I did make a slight mistake by calling it 0.3.4 in the first
line of the changelog paragraph:
quantlib (0.3.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Upgraded to 'golden master' pre-release of 0.3.4 dated 2003-11-04
* debian/rules: Really make sure 'test' is run before 'install'

but sort-of hedged this with the file date 2003-11-04 which would allow for
a comparison if dates were to be considered too.

So it's a trade off. If we really feel that the tarballs must be identical,
I do a new upload -- but then I must also use a higher number such as
0.3.4.1 or 0.3.4.final or whatever.
As we'd trade one inconsistency for another, shall we agree to sit tight.
Unless of course real bugs surface?

I just uploaded the ql-python and ql-ruby packages. I'll pass on guile and
mzscheme which are to esoteric for me :)
