Some thoughts:

If upstream == downstream, then IMO a Debian branch on the upstream repo
is more suitable than a completely separate repo on Salsa. git-
buildpackage already supports this, and commands like "gbp import-ref"
can be used to import new releases' tags.

Then there are also advantages to placing packaging on Salsa, like
incorporating Salsa CI to test the package, tag2upload (if you use
that), and DDs being able to access your repo already if it is under the
"debian" group.

Thanks,
Maytham
