Actually, I don't see why it's necessary to have a package for 2 scripts
that might not be even 100 lines each. These scripts could be
distributed with git-buildpackage. There is no reason git-buildpackage
should be limited to the set of scripts it already contains, or a single
possible workflow for using git to maintain debian packages ?
What are we going to see next ? Yet another package because someone else
will feel none of gitpkg or git-buildpackage fit his needs ?
Why not have only one package containing different tools that fit
different needs ?
