Here's a small feature request for the create_tarball script. The Debian 
packager for Tellico suggested that the debian/ directory be removed from 
the tarball when I make a source package. Perhaps someway of specifying a 
list of directories and/or files to ignore in the source tree when making 
the tarball would be useful? I'm not sure how I would go about it though. 
Just a thought...
