Ah, that explains it. In short: "too clever by half".  I use the Debian tool
uscan as a watch, it operates with a small config file part of my debian/
directory -- and it was looking at _tags_ rather than releases and hence
likely freshing taring up and compressing something ... that was not the
.tar.gz you provide. 

So entirely my error.  Will try to remember for next time.
