Importing New Upstream Releases
===============================

Since upstream has ignored the request to tag releases [1], we use the
following approach to retrieve the upstream source.

* Use the upstream Git annotations for setup.py [2] to find the commit that
  updates the version string.
* Download the tarball corresponding to that commit.
* Update the version accordingly in debian/changelog
* run mk-origtargz on the downloaded tarball in order to repack the tarball
  and remove non-DFSG files (declared in debian/copyright)
