OK, for d/control.  Please note my other changes in this file.

This file was *intentionally* removed.  You only need to provide such
script if there is any need to change the upstream source.  Thanks to
our fruitful cooperation over the last year upstream has evolved in a
way that there is no need any more tochange the upstream source and thus
I deleted the file.

Please try to understand d/watch principle first:  You should not
hardcode any version there because the sense of a d/watch file is to
*detect* new versions according to a regular expression.  The string is
not necessarily identical with what you need to feed into wget to
download a file.  This is a good resource to understand d/watch files:

   https://wiki.debian.org/debian/watch/

There is also a specific paragraph about SourceForge.

What you did not clarified - what would be *urgently* needed - is the
role of this name change from "src" to "pro".  In general:  If you do
not understand what I'm writing in my e-mails, just ask back to make
sure our communication will properly match.  I regard you as our
upstream expert and we need to make sure that these upstream changes
are properly understood and regarded in our packaging.

That's a misunderstanding.  At best the get-orig-source should use the
d/watch file.  Please read the Wiki page above!  The watch file is one
(important) default part of a Debian package - a get-orig-source script
is not.  Please try to use `uscan --verbose --report` to understand the
role of the watch file.

I think you did not took notes because there is quite some bit
documented in our team policy at

   http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/docs/policy.html

Please reread.  For a new upstream version you need to import the
pristine-tar (please seek for this keyword.  I did not do this because
my answer what might really the right source to use (again, please
clarify the name change from *src.tar.gz to *pro.tar.gz).

Kind regards

        Andreas.
