I see, thanks.

They're pretty well hidden under
https://shibboleth.net/downloads/service-provider/extensions/shibresolver

The pristine-tar branch is inaccurate in the sense that the contained
tarball isn't pristine from upstream.  I don't think the deviation is
harmful, but it's pretty hard to tell by eyeballing the file lists.

I created a watch file, see below.

You already fixed the build failure (thanks!), so I dropped it.  But
I've proposed a bunch of other smallish changes in the wferi branch of
the repo.  Please review as convenient; they mostly silence low severty
Lintian tags.
