As far as I know Files-Excluded is just about repackaging since it is consumed by uscan which is downloading and optionally repackaging a tarball. Is there any reason not to use uscan as intended and than use gbp import-orig --pristine-tar downloaded_repackaged_tarball ? Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
