start with the tarball, since that's more natural than starting with a .zip on Ubuntu

 In order to package Tahoe for inclusion into Ubuntu, you'll need a few things:
 
-1. The released zipfile (why do we use zip files?) for the Tahoe version you're updating to.
+1. The released tarball (.tar.gz from [http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/releases/?C=M;O=D] the releases directory) for the Tahoe version you're updating to.
 2. The existing package in Ubuntu.  A simple `apt-get source tahoe-lafs` should do the trick.
 
 Once you have those things, here's what you need to do:
 
-1. Unpack the zipfile.
-2. Create a tarball of the folder created from the zipfile.  The tarball has a strict naming convention, which would be tahoe-lafs-<version>.orig.tar.gz.  Create this with `tar cvzf tahoe-lafs-<version>.orig.tar.gz allmydata...`
-3. Copy the debian/ folder from the existing package into the allmydata... folder
-4. Change into the allmydata... folder.
+1. Unpack the tarball.
+2. Create a new tarball named `allmydata-tahoe-<version>.orig.tar.gz`, which is the same as the release tarball but with the `allmydata-tahoe-<version>` directory at its root. Create this with `tar cvzf allmydata-tahoe-<version>.orig.tar.gz allmydata...`
+3. Copy the debian/ folder from the existing package into the `allmydata...` folder
+4. Change into the `allmydata...` folder.
 5. `dch -v <new-version>-0ubuntu1`
 6. Edit the changelog with the things that have been changed.
