Now uscan removes both contrib and win32 directories, so that's not the
problem. It's rather that the originally downloaded tarball is now nearly 40

There are also various .gitignore files, which would interfere with our own
usage of git, so I added them to Files-Excluded as well.

I wouldn't mind the initial download.

It's just a minor annoyance.

I don't know why they modify their release tarball in this way, but I don't
think it makes much difference for us.

Ah. One reason might be that they do "make dist" and autoconf creates
the tarball. If the extra files (say fp_gcd.c) is not refrenced in
Makefile then it won't be added to the final tarball.

Yes, that's a likely reason, meaning it really doesn't hurt if these files are present, because they are not used.

Maybe they can manage to sign their tags.

That would be good, although I don't know if uscan can verify signed tags.
Or would there be detached signatures on the download page?

Argh, right. No, it would be part of the tag. So it wouldn't be of any
use for use then :P

Except if uscan can be thought to verify signed tags...

I see you backported a patch to expose cl_initialize_crypto in clamav.h.
Have you already tested/patched the reverse dependencies?

Best regards,
Andreas
