Is there is a particular reason you used the Debian tarballs instead of the old upstream CVS repository when creating the new upstream git repository? I'd suggest creating a new git upstream repository based on the old upstream CVS repository and then rebasing your new changes on top of that. Otherwise you are hiding the history of the project. I note that the person in the Debian package Uploaders field is a Debian member and was last active in Debian in March 2021, so I suggest asking them about the situation, they are likely to respond. Also ask them if they still have access to the SourceForge project and could setup a redirect to your fork of the upstream project. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
