Indeed, as the sf.net page doesn't work currently, I switched the watch 
file now to github.com. The downsides are:
  * larger tarball containing more win32 and contrib files
  * no automatic verification of signatures, as the github tarballs
    aren't signed
When/If sf.net works again, we can switch back.

I added a Files-Excluded field to debian/copyright so that uscan 
automatically removes a lot of useless files. The split-tarball.sh 
script is still needed to extract libclamunrar.

Best regards,
Andreas
