What vcs repo?  Do you mean 

     https://github.com/BALL-Project/ball  ?

Which files are non-free?  We should probably exclude these from
upstream source (if possible).

It would be great if you file an issue in Github in the Ball repository.
Its not really Debian's fault if upstream fails to set tags properly.  I
usually file an issue about this but I sometimes forget.  In any case
CMakeLists.txt has

   PROJECT("BALL" VERSION 1.5.0)

That's why we have choosen 1.5.0 as version + Git commit (to cope with
latest features like Python3 etc.)

Thanks a lot

    Andreas.
