Is the empty default value for repacksuffix a good choice here? I cannot imagine a case where one removes something from the upstream tarball and does not add a suffix to the version. Specifically, I had the case that I first (last year) added a few Files-Excluded and created a "+dfsg" tarball, and when I later update with the new devscripts version, I forgot to check the suffix and accidently created a package without the suffix. This could be avoided if either the suffix defaults to +dfsg if files are excluded, or if uscan fails with some error in this case. Or Lintian would report this. Best regards Ole
