well, technically speaking there is no strict requirement to host packaging
repository on git.debian.org but it is indeed strongly encouraged!  Somewhat
stronger advisory (almost requirement) is to point to the repository which has
a branch with debian/ packaging in its default HEAD -- that seems to be the
case (although once again it is outdated so do not know if building package out
of its fresh git clone would work just fine with dpkg-buildpackage ;-) )

My concern is already existing proliferation of different git
repositories especially that the one pointed by Vcs-git field is already
outdated I believe (carries 0.11 packaging):

Vcs-Git: git://github.com/hmmr/cnrun.git
Vcs-Browser: http://cnrun.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb-index.cgi

so please make your choice ;-)

there is no need to upload to experimental since this is a NEW pkg --
target unstable

"building on original work by Thomas Nowotny <tnowotny@ucsd.edu>"
so I guess worth adjusting debian/copyright? ;-)

I will try building it meanwhile ;-)
