Hi again,
I just realised that I once created a repository for your package
black-box.

So maybe this repository[1] is helpful for you. I'll invite you as
owner and if this is not sufficient I can help with moving it to your
own preference.

I just removed the pristine-tar branch. Unfortunately I have no idea
about the patches-applied workflow. IMHO, this can be done with `gbp
pq` but I never tried this. So I'll leave the repository in the state
as is and hope it is sufficientl helpful for you to be converted to
your own prefered workflow.

As far as I understood tag2upload can deal perfectly fine with the
current repository.
As I said in my gkrellm-tz related mail I do not intend to touch the
package without your consent.
Hope this helps
Andreas.
