it would have some advantages for us (especially dealing with our
"bundle packages" containing several upstream tarballs but also
easier handling of patches - no need for de-/quiltification) it is
maybe appropriate to start dicussing a roadmap following up on some
random talks on IRC and some first experiments (thanks, Ansgar).

AFAIK what's missing is:
- dh-make-perl support
- full svn-buildpackage support (esp. for multiple tarballs)

What does everybody think -- should me start to move more in that
direction? What else is missing? What needs to happen?

I use "3.0 (quilt)" and like it, despite its quirks.

But I use git and cdbs, so my experiences are probably of little value here.

Just mentioning, in case someone should run into challenges using similar packaging style.
