It unfortunately for the projects using tarballs containing patches,
E.G:

http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/3d5/3d5f2c960ff2cc2003c9cc68d3a5a48009f5602f/build-end.log

The tarball contains:

debian/
debian/control
debian/postinst
debian/postinst.nfs
debian/source/
debian/source/options
debian/source/format
debian/shlibs
debian/prerm.nfs
debian/rules
debian/postrm
debian/shlibs.nfslock
debian/patches/
debian/patches/07-493462-dotlockfile.c.patch
debian/patches/series
debian/patches/04-505851-remove-debug-code.patch
debian/patches/02-COPYRIGHT.patch
debian/patches/06-493462-dotlockfile.1.patch
debian/patches/09-562937-make-ar-overwrittable.patch
debian/changelog

So a bunch of non-patch files. I guess our best option is to degrade the
"Unsupported format" check to a warning again?
