Not necessarily, libraries we maintain don't need them for eg.

Yes please. I prefer not having upstream source in it, but both
options are acceptable. For SVN, we should instead use
svn-buildpackage's mergeWithUpstream mode IMO.

One is the old one that doesn't support git, the other is the new one
that supports git but is missing some stuff from the old one. Ansgar

I think we will need to use the wiki page until PET supports git, then
we might be able to obsolete it. That said, some sponsors might prefer
source packages rather than VCS so maybe we need to keep it.
