Issue 17 in ant-deb-task: Need "." as root folder in internal archives

http://code.google.com/p/ant-deb-task/issues/detail?id=17
New issue report by bijan.vakili:
Steps:
1. Create an Debian package using ant-deb-task
2. Create the same package using "dpkg --build"
3. Attempt to include [1] or [2] into an apt repository built with
'reprepro'.
The package created in [2] will succeed because reprepro will extract the
package's metadata using the path "./control". However, this will fail
with [1] because the ant-deb-task does not create a "." parent folder in
control.tar.gz or data.tar.gz.
The resulting output is:
---
/tmp/mypackage.deb
tar: ./control: Not found in archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
Got no control information from .deb!
Error from tar: 2
There have been errors!
---
Can this be fixed so that the resulting Debian is consistent with Debian
packages created by dpkg?
I'm using Ant v1.7.0 and the latest version of ant-deb-task. I'm also
using reprepro v0.8 on Ubuntu Linux.
I've attached a patch file (fix-reprepro.diff) that can fix this issue for
reprepro. However, this only adds a "." parent folder to the
control.tar.gz. You may want to commit different changes in order to also
fix data.tar.gz.
Thanks!
