Ah sorry I forgot that point. You need to run uscan --download to get the upstream tarball.

But actually you don't need to do that anymore. Because thanks to you I found the issue :)
I don't know why I thought the examples would segfault, because they didn't. Apparently I have a bad memory already.

In fact only my project segfaulted, and I spend some time trying to debug it. I discovered that they changed some
of the functionality of the Analysis Manger when resetting files (I think they fixed a bug which I exploited before).

Anyway, thanks a lot! This means I'm now looking for a sponsor again.
If there is someone reading this who wants to sponsor this, you might already take a look at the copyright.
I will add autopkgtest and split the packages before I want to upload it, but I think I'll finish with that this evening.

Regards,
Stephan
