No objection against loosing history.

Fine for me.  In any case we should have a clone on Alioth.

In any case you should add the needed workflow / tips how to deal
with this.  I somehow wonder in how far two different people should
create an md5sum identical orig.tar.  Seems with this workflow it
is not possible without using `apt-get source`.

I might give it a try if the repository is in alioth and I can commit.
Seems not be to hard.  Please, if you put advises into policy to let me
know if I should do this as quilt patches or commit directly to the
repository.

I'm specifically interested because we might adopt this workflow for
mne-python as well.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
