Is the empty default value for repacksuffix a good choice here? I cannot
imagine a case where one removes something from the upstream tarball and
does not add a suffix to the version. Specifically, I had the case that
I first (last year) added a few Files-Excluded and created a "+dfsg"
tarball, and when I later update with the new devscripts version, I
forgot to check the suffix and accidently created a package without the
suffix. This could be avoided if either the suffix defaults to +dfsg if
files are excluded, or if uscan fails with some error in this case. Or
Lintian would report this.
Best regards
Ole
