github creates "releases" for each tag in the master branch, and I
didn't find anything to prevent this, apart from not creating tags.
Just don't use github. Download the latest release from igraph.org.

We don't intend to that, at least I don't. Again, the releases are on
our homepage, not on github.

If Tamas removes the debian/ subdir from the repository, I don't mind,
that's his decision.
