Using the upstream-vcs-tag causes the git history to pollute with all the upstream commits, imho is just better to remove it so we keep the relevant part of the package history. I added a bit more explanation in the commit that removes it. > It is to note that I cannot find most of the above changes in git. Changes are in the work/3.8.4-1 branch, I created a MR to increase visibility here https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libarchive/-/merge_requests/8 I made a few changes, managed to get the orig tarball signed and fixed some (not all) of the (pedantic) lintian warnings.
