Fully Agreed.
It is a bad idea to have a single repository with one source package per
directory under git for many reasons: what doesn't outright break, becomes
awkward and slower due to the need to restrict git by pathspec everywhere.
It is also error-prone (git operates repository-wide), and a major waste of
resources in the developer side (network and storage) unless everyone in the
team is always working on everything.
Please seriously consider using the dgit recommended layout, and one
repository per source package.
