Package: git-debrebase
Version: 5.0
Severity: minor

As discussed by private e-mail, git-debrebase should defer to
`git-deborig --just-print`'s determination of the tag corresponding to a
given upstream release, rather than reimplementing the algorithm.

In a message I proposed doing it like this:

  couldn't find any of the following tags: 2.1x, v2.1x, upstream/2.1x
  tell me a tag or branch head to make an orig.tar from: git deborig
  --version=2.1x --just-print COMMITTISH
  git-debrebase: failed command: git-deborig --version=2.1x --just-print
  git-debrebase: subprocess failed with error exit status 1
  git-debrebase: git-deborig was unable to find a
  unique committish corresponding to upstream version 2.1.  Supply a
  commitish as the second argument to new-upstream, e.g.:
       git debrebase new-upstream 2.1 v2.1 <more args ..>
