I switch to GH tarball, but I must say they are a lot different than
the SF ones (now we have 3 copies of the examples in doc/mpl_examples
lib/mpl_examples and examples) and contains quite a lot more files
(like the whole unit/ tree) and development files (.travis, .gitignore
and friends), but if that's a more reliable way to get new tarball,
I'm all for it - let's use this in the future :)

there is a patch[1] attached to the Debian bug[2], I'm about to apply
to the package and see how it goes, you might want to
investigate+apply it in the final release
