[Andreas Tille]As I said previosely: It is not a good idea to keep debian/control in SVN.Having debian/control and the tasksel file in SVN have been a very valuable tool in the past to figure out how thing changed and why thing broke. Because of this, I believe it is a good idea to keep it in svn. It make it possible to reproduce the exact upload done in the past, without having to guess what was available in the Debian archives at a given point in time.
I agree - I also keep debian/control in my Git sources even if regenerated semi-automatically.
My point before was only that it is _possible_ - even with Debian Policy requirements - to not store debian/contrl in VCS, not that it is sane to do so :-)
