Yes, but at the time we started the project it was not available.

We generally avoid importing the upstream source to save space.

That's interesting, I've never maintained a package for which I had to
prune the upstream source from non-free parts. Is this the case with
sound?

I generally create draft source package and then:

svn-inject -o package.dsc svn+ssh://free-guest@svn.debian.org/svn/demudi

If I need to change the upstream code, I'm always keeping the patches
under debian/patches.

Ciao!
