I like the current proposal for a default suggestion for how to lay out repositories on salsa when one is not working with a team and one has no better ideas. I think it would both ease the path of people[1] (re)learning debian packaging, and of people[1] who can do packaging and, having no particular needs, like to stick to standards to ease further work through uniformity. I liked Ansgar's concern about the standard risking to become obsolete. As a recommendation for a default layout, I think there should be a way to keep the recommendations aligned to current project expectations, and I'd like some upgrading-checklist-style document to assist in keeping things aligned. Hopefully the recommendations won't change too often, or the effort saved by not having to explore multiple options while setting up a packaging workflow, would be spent in keeping the workflow up to date. I have no particular ideas about how to keep a recommendation up to date, though I like the idea of having in Debian the possibility of doing that a lot, as I see it valuable for a broader range of things. While over-normating things in Debian would stifle its valuable diversity, I think that being able to recommend as much standards as possible would make it much easier to navigate that diversity.
