I'm obviously missing something here.  I'm no expert on git-dpm but
what Raphael wrote seems si9milar to whuat I have seen in existing
repos.

If there are differences between Raphael's document and existing
practice, I think they should be 1. documented (in the DEP)
2. justified (here or in the DEP).

I thought Raphael was trying to document existing practice.
