Only packages that really made it to unstable should be tagged. So
please remove the tag until the package is accepted.

Yes. But as I said *after* ftpmaster has accepted the package.

OK. What we are doing in this case is documenting this like
debian/watch:
# upstream is still not releasing versioned source

Ahh, you are right. I somehow assumed you are part of the upstream
team. I'd recommend to simply forward these issues.

May be it makes sense to provide a lintian-override. I do not want

Fine. Just ping me once you think you are finished with theses things.
Kind regards
