Thank you for the information, indeed I can find the pristine-tar
branches on the two Git repositories above.

As a personal interest, may I ask why the Debian packaging got its own
Git repository instead of using the upstream one and branches?

Nicolas?

Yes, please, I am gismo on Alioth.  And I try to avoid GitHub for
personal reasons, so no account ATM.

I have planned to upload the jessie-backports before Christmas, the only
problem ATM is the fact that I built libu2f-server0 with the jessie
debhelper, i.e. 9.20150101+deb8u2, which generates the following lintian
error (which would not result in a automatic reject from the Debian
upload queue):

  E: libu2f-server0: package-must-activate-ldconfig-trigger usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libu2f-server.so.0.0.3

  <https://lintian.debian.org/tags/package-must-activate-ldconfig-trigger.html>

FWIW, I would have preferred to have everything (upstream + Debian
packaging) in one place as I wrote above, if you do not want to
"pollute" the Yubico repository we can still do that on Alioth.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
