dpkg-source: unrepresentable changes to source

hello,

I'm trying to build a source and a binary package and I would like to add some
files like pixmaps in the archives.
My Pixmap file is in the debian/pix/ folder and while 'dpkg-source' build the
diff.gz I got a 'unrepresentable changes to source'

Currently the best way is to get this upstream ASAP.
Short of that you need to do some ugly tricks like uuencode the image
and decode it during build.

Luckily the version 3.0 source format fixes this. Unluckily you are
still not allowed to upload version 3.0 source format to
Debian. *sigh*
