Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.9.21
Followup-For: Bug #914314

Control: severity -1 serious

Dear colleagues,

I have to remove the offending '--symlink' arg here:

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gbp/deb/uscan.py:
    cmd = ['uscan', '--symlink', '--destdir=%s' % destdir, '--dehs']

to avoid local repository breakages packaging Kodi binary addons with the same
unmangled version.

Can this behavior be made configurable via gbp.conf or, at least, the switch
removed to honor settings set by developer? Recent versions of uscan treat
'--symlink' options as default anyway if not explicitly specified otherwise.

Regards,
Vasyl
