initial release was made for 2.4.0, then 2.4.3 was prepared for
experimental, but that was made not in usual branches master and
upstream, but in master-experimental and upstream-experimental. After
a while master-experimental was merged into master, but
upstream-experimental not, so the last version in upstream was 2.4.0.

So, when I run `git import-orig' it was unable to merge upstream into
master properly. I had thought 'wtf?' and run mergetool (it was a very
bad decision, I know, `git merge upstream upstream-experimental' is
proper one).

Cause now it has 2 merges of `upstream/2.10.0' into master, and the
first one should be removed.
