This is basically the problem. It's not that we have to use exactly the same workflow, but the differences between our workflows are large enough that we can't have something like Fedora's specs repo (e.g. repos with only the contents of debian/ -- inside or outside an enclosing debian/ dir). The best way to think about the current situation is to realise that the archive is a (bad) VCS: an upload is a commit, so NMUs are commits. Except for dgit, any repo is a secondary repo when compared to the archive. I have submitted a git packaging practices BoF for DebConf. -- Sean Whitton
