Could you explain how these two data sets relate to each other?
Is swe-standard-data a strict subset of swe-extrapolated-data? If so I
would say make swe-extrapolated-data depend on swe-standard-data.
Or are the two packages have some data in common and some unique data
in each of them? If so I would split the data up into three sets,
swe-core-data/swe-standard-data/swe-extrapolated-data.
In terms of git repositories, I would only put the debian/ dirs in git.
