>  * each components should have in their "opts":
>     component=foo,ctype=nodejs
>  * each component should be "ckecksum" instead of "group"
> See [1] for an example

> Explanation:
>  * checksum avoid having long versions (ie 1.0+~2.1+~0.1+~...) but
>    groups all component in a checksum: 1.0+~cs12.4.32
>  * ctype=nodejs permits to read current component version in
>    package.json since it is no more available in long version
> 
> You can update or repack using `uscan --download-current-version`: a new
> version is built using the same components.
> That's exactly what I did to repack acorn from

> to 6.2.1+ds+~cs11.24.3-1 (nothing else than updating debian/watch and
> launch uscan)

It is great work you do here, but...

Can you *please* not release *experiments* into unstable!
