Fwiw, these tricks are often a PITA for package maintainers, because
we keep the packaging also in a git repository, but that one doesn't
have any (git) connection to the upstream xastir.git.
In many cases, we have to patch the build system not to do these
tricks. (Generally, I didn't check if the variant used in xastir is
problematic.)
