Thanks for bringing this feature to my attention!
I just thought I'd try it out, so here's some additional data for the
curious
https://bugs.debian.org/1111114 - feature request
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/devscripts/-/commit/0eb2557c2ab83b319208f66aee76b5270ce498ff
- implementation patch
this has landed in 2.25.19 (sid)
I don't already have debian/upstream/metadata, so the jury out to some
extent as to which is preferable
+Archive: GitHub
+Repository: https://github.com/rheit/zdbsp
or
+Version: 5
+Template: Github
+Owner: rheit
+Project: zdbsp
; I suppose the former is potentially usefully consumed by other tools.
(On my TODO list is also to find out if/how I can specify a sha1 hash
suffixed version, intended to correspond to a specific commit in a git
repository, and have uscan download the appropriate tarball)
