Thanks! uscan was not quite letting me use gbp import-orig but I was able to update the excluded files and have uscan re-download the new tarball correctly. Then I just had to rename the tarball with the +ds2 version and use gbp import-orig <path to new tarball>. Anyway that produced the intended result, so I pushed that along with the lintian-overrides, and the pipeline passes. >> I totally lost interest in maintaining that package and kind of neglected >> it because of the vendoring and the package itself or rather its upstream. >> Anyways, I thought I've orphaned it long time ago (maybe I forgot to do >> that). So thank you for taking over, I'm sure a lot of users will be happy! No problem! I am happy to help. I added myself as an uploader also, and I do not think there is a need to formally orphan if the team still maintains it (and I will continue to upload). Ileana
