You're welcome!

Why is breaking notification of any future upstream tags better than
using uscan's git mode?  Uscan's git mode will notify when upstream
pushes any commit, with or without a tag.  Help is available in
#debian-mentors if writing an output format line that is suitable for
volume-el's existing version scheme is too challenging.
