+Currently upstream does not provide any release tarballs
+or release tags in git. Thus the .orig.tar.gz provided in
+the Debian archive is manually cut from the upstream git
+clone. E.g.
+
+    git archive --format=tar.gz -o ~/debian/vym-2.9.27.tar.gz --prefix=vym-2.9.27/ d9d7b12a05dcffe3bf246cbb73e1cf718bd9dcd7
+
+and imported with `gbp import-orig ../vym-2.9.27.tar.gz`.
