Hi,

the packages builds as it is now, but it has still a lot of lintian 
warnings and errors.

Great.

Github also gives you a proper tarball url that could be used in a watch 
file, e.g.:

   https://github.com/stnava/ANTs/archive/v2.0.0.tar.gz

but I assume you didn't import this with pristine-tar, right?

It is provided by upstream in the original tarball.

Thanks.

It seems since the original data is just a bunch of files, we would 
have to put this tarball somewhere on-line ourself.

I'm afraid they just add data on a as needed basis, so it may or may not 
change and one will have to test it with every release.

Well, I just asked Matt from Kitware if he can give me some info.

No, I already checked this and the files are different.
