Hi,

Thanks for reporting.

It needs to extract the source packages to get the watch file. I don't
think there's a way to ask dpkg-source to only extract a single file,
and I don't want to re-implement dpkg-source.

Reviewing the code, there was a path where the tmp dir was not removed.
I've fixed that. I'm not 100% sure this fixes everything, but it should
clearly help.

However, I also note that /tmp is on /, and / is quite small (only 5.3
GB remaining). Would it be possible to add some disk space for /tmp or /
on ullmann?

Thanks

Lucas
