Hi Nicolas,
its a long time since the last posting in this topic - perhaps because
everybody was doing bug squashing for Wheezy but recently I needed to
rethink the status of my proposed uscan enhancements[2].

As I see on your Wiki page you have described your proposal from your
last posting on the mailing list[3] which is actually in contrast to
what is implemented in [2] and was described and discussed in the thread
starting here[4]. I should most probably add the current implementation
to the Wiki page and I will do so in the next couple of days. But
before I'm starting to do so I would like to clarify why you used the
headline "Implementation" about the paragraph explaining what is not
implemented. That's a bit confusing but may be I missunderstood
something. Before I start mixing up things I'd like to hear your real
intention which I might have missed.
Now for the current implementation: The stumbling block I was currently
facing is that I want to strip some upstream source (of igv[5]) from a
jar file which resides inside the packaging root as well as in a
subdirectory. It looks like
IGVDistribution_2.1.30/goby-io-igv.jar (a)
IGVDistribution_2.1.30/lib/goby-io-igv.jar (b)
The thing is that (a) should be removed and (b) needs to remain - but
this case is not possible with the current implementation. If
Files-Excluded contains a string without '/' a "find -name" search is
approached and catches them all. I remember this behaviour was
mentioned as a design flaw but the pro-argument is that you really
comfortably can use this when doing things like
Files-Excluded: ._* *~ .DS_Store
If you would need to specify each and any dir containing such cruft
files this would become a really lousy way which is not better than
keeping the old get-orig-source way.
I / we need to think about this.
Kind regards
Andreas.
