Have you reached out to Wim about why the repo has a different name
than the Fedora source package? And a request for git tags.

I'm wanting to create the package in the next few days so I can reach
out instead if you're busy.

I figure I'll just use the existing Debian repo, rename the source
package fields and gbp import-orig the forked version. So we would use
the same binary names and package split as the existing non-free
Debian package, just with a higher version number. Does that sound
fine?

Thank you,
