Hi,

Bug:
 https://bugs.debian.org/505857
 https://bugs.debian.org/884880 (cloned bug of above)

I just updated manpage of uscan to reduce stress of our fellow DDs for
Bug #884880.

I agree with

I agree uscan deserves more code refactoring and it should expose its
internal utilities to other codes.  Unfortunately, my skill and time is
not up for the task.

So I simply addressed Chris's concern https://bugs.debian.org/884880#57
by updating the manpage to point people to the pertinent information.  I
hope the recent checkin is good enough.
 57ea0c53 ("uscan: clarify the importance of version=4", 2018-01-12)

But what is this "[1]This is on my ToDo list for DEHS2 anyway." in bug
report? Raphael, are you still working on something?

Regards,

Osamu
