I'll keep that in mind for next time. I have a habit of not committing
the changelog until I'm preparing the upload or done touching the
package, but that didn't happen this time.

Ok. I should document the upstream source retrieval in README.source.
Because upstream doesn't want to tag releases, I find the snapshot
corresponding to a version by checking the commit that updates the
version string in the source, downloading it, and running mk-origtargz
on it.

I filed the bug and imported the tarball to help others who might beat
me to it, so I appreciate your attempt.

Thanks and regards
