I am happy to hear you like this feature.  To be precise, you need
tailing @:

    guitarix2 at ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@

But I intentionally made these to be a bit conservative grep.
  @ANY_VERSION@ doesn't match -v23
  @ARCHIVE_EXT@ doesn't match tgz or tgx
So far only one bug report requesting tgz.  I may consider adding it
after careful regression check in buster.  

At least ? Actual target file can be matched as above :-)
           guitarix2-0.35.3.tar.xz
