Having subscribed the commit list I noticed that you followed this path
of action and so I tried:

$ debcheckout --user tille git://git.debian.org/debian-med/libvistaio.git --git-track '*'

git clone git+ssh://tille@git.debian.org/git/debian-med/libvistaio.git libvistaio ...

This at least *changed* the error message which might be some progress.


It seemed a reasonable idea to do some manual call of the command that
failed and thus I tried:

 
(master) $ git checkout pristine-tar 
Switched to branch 'pristine-tar'
(pristine-tar) $ pristine-xz --no-verbose --no-debug --no-keep genxz libvistaio_1.2.14.orig.tar.xz.delta ../libvistaio_1.2.14.orig.tar.xz
pristine-xz: delta is for a tar, not a xz


Hmmmm, this does not explain much (leaving out the .xz after .tar does
not change the error message.

Any further idea

     Andreas.
