Hello Debian Media Maintainers!
I am the author of so-synth-lv2, and back in 2011, I created the initial packaging for Debian, and with the help of Alessio Treglia, got it into debian :)
I would like to keep a copy of the debian packaging in the upstream repository, but the debian repository seems to have a separate upstream branch based on exporting tarballs and reimporting them. Is this really necessary? The documentation seems to suggest that you can just have a workflow where you directly merge upstream into the debian master branch:
https://wiki.debian.org/PackagingWithGit#Using_the_upstream_repo
Thanks,
Jeremy Salwen
