Getting source tarballs from github is a nightmare. See

The debian tool doesn't help very much because one still needs revision
garbage in the specfile. Is there any more recent ways to mitigate this?
Perhaps we could "lobby" github to change their ways, at least partially?

Yeah, I filed a support request with them a while back but they didn't seem that interested. Perhaps if they got lots of complaints though they might pay attention.
