Bug#904962: antlr4: non-standard tarball repacking; please use copyright/Files-Excluded; redundant "debian/orig-tar.sh"

[Dmitry Smirnov]

Source: antlr4
Version: 4.6-1
Severity: minor

antlr4 is not repacking its orig tarball according to Debian best practice.

Recommended way to do that is through copyright/FilesExcluded header and 
"watch" file setting repacksuffix to indicate that tarball has been 
processed.

"debian/orig-tar.sh" is redundant as all it does can be done by "uscan".

Also reason for exclusion of files is not documented...

Best wishes,
 Dmitry Smirnov
