Thanks!

I just did what the building instructions said one should do when
there's an issue with upstrea/* tags.

Exactly what I thought. Thanks for confirming it!

I could find #6087, but no obvious email.

The tag fixed that step, and to make the upload work I had to manually
add liveusb-creator_3.11.6+tails1-1.orig.tar.gz to the changes file.

Now the merge is complete! However, now devel doesn't build:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     liveusb-creator : Depends: python (< 2.7) but 2.7.3-4+deb7u1 is to
be installed


Investigating...

Cheers!
