Well, it's more about ensuring that those source package versions aren't
dropped from the archive by dak, rendering us license-incompliant.
Thanks for looking into it further. I've made a further change to your
changelog message. Please take a look.
I've also noticed that there has been an upload to the archive,
1:0.2.0-4, which is not accounted for in our history. Please merge it
in. 'gbp import-dsc apt:persp-projectile/sid', and then a manual merge,
is probably what you want, because of how the patches are unapplied.
