Downloading updated upstream tarballs
=====================================
The upstream source utilizes Git Large File Storage (LFS) for some file types
like images and media. The tarballs generated by gitea for direct download do
not contain these Git LFS managed files, so the git repo is used directly in the
`watch` file as the upstream source.
The package `git-lfs` is required to download the full upstream tarball with
included image and media files using devscripts like `uscan` or `origtargz`.
Attempting to download the upstream tarball without `git-lfs` installed will
produce an incomplete upstream tarball with image and media files replaced with
Git LFS reference files.
No further setup is required after installing the `git-lfs` package.
