Right that's correct (and explains Daniel's hint there is no need for
uupdate).
Discussion:
1. I propose a file debian/uscan.remove which contains regular expressions.
The deletion process will loop over every line and does
rm -rf ${MAIN_SOURCE_DIR}/<expression>
2. uscan just knows the option --repack. Do we want to reuse this and start
deleting files in case the file debian/uscan.remove exists or do we
want to use an explicite option --repack-and-remove? I have some
preference for just using --repack.
3. If the tarball did not contained any of the strings in
debian/uscan.remove it should be left untouched (except if the repackaging
is needed because of compression method anyway)
4. In case something was removed the version string will be appended by
'~dfsg' to express the fact that the content of the original source
was changed.
What do you think?
Kind regards
Andreas.
