The upstream of dhcpy3d accidentially tagged the 1.2.3 release as both
"v1.2.3" and "1.2.3" without "v".

My debian/gbp.conf says clearly:

  [DEFAULT]
  upstream-vcs-tag=v%(version)s

Nevertheless "dpt import-orig" on the 1.2.2 git checkout fails as
follows:

% dpt import-orig

gbp:error: Import of ../dhcpy6d_1.2.3.orig.tar.gz failed: Can't find upstream vcs tag at '1.2.3

Note that weird line break between "'1.2.3" and "v1.2.3'".

Temporarily worked around it by running "git tag -d 1.2.3" in a second
shell in the right moment. :-)

dpt-import-orig doesn't know about gbp.conf - but maybe it should …

That's really a nice little corner case :)

(`| head -n 1' after the grep over the tag names? Not very elegant …)

Heh :)
