Just because somebody sets up a repository to manage the _debian_
_package_ of some work doesn't mean he really forks it. Nor does he
reinvent the wheel.
I happen to have the CVS of my Debian packages on
http://cvs.noreply.org/. You can find mixmaster, uucp, cvs2cl and many
packages more there. They are _not_ forked. The Repository exists to
manage the debian/ directory and possible debian specific changes.
I think you are confusing upstream work and debian/packaging work.
yours,
peter
