Hi, Did "Release-Only: yes" help with this issue? If not, there is a new "Custom-Version" parameter that should hopefully allow the Github template to describe versions in a more particularized way. It will go in next upload. Current "Version-Type" parameter may also help. Note that there may be some problems with (?:"), see https://bugs.debian.org/1115072 [uscan: does not support look ahead positive regex] Please close this bug report if fixed by any of the ways above. -- Agustin
