Thanks for the pointers. Here is what I did:

 % cat ~/.gbp.conf
[DEFAULT]
pristine-tar=3DTrue
filter=3D[ '.gitignore', '.travis.yml', '.git*' ]
component=3D['debian-tests-data']

Followed by:

% gbp import-orig --uscan
gbp:info: Launching uscan...
Newest version of openslide on remote site is 4.0.0, local version is 3.4.1
       (mangled local version is 3.4.1)
 =3D> Newer package available from:
        =3D> https://github.com/openslide/openslide/releases/download/v4.0.=

Successfully repacked ../openslide-4.0.0.tar.xz as
../openslide_4.0.0+dfsg.orig.tar.xz, deleting 1 files from it.
gbp:info: Using uscan downloaded tarball ../openslide_4.0.0+dfsg.orig.tar.x=
z
What is the upstream version? [4.0.0+dfsg]
gbp:error: Cannot find component tarball
../openslide_4.0.0+dfsg.orig-debian-tests-data.tar.xz

I suspect I still need some additional setting to get uscan to work on my s=
ide.

Thanks
