Why's that? You already have those debian-<flavor>.tar.gz files, can't
you just add another file to them? Or do you want to get rid of them?

Well, you already use "Debtransform-*" in your dsc file. Here are
two ideas:

1) allow multiple tar files in "Debtransform-Files-Tar". You could
use debian.tar.gz for your base files and debian-<flavor>.tar.gz
would just contain some files that need to be different.

2) add some new "Debtransform-Files" tag where you can specify in
some syntax which files to take and where to put them.

Cheers,
  Michael.
