Good ideas (the two).

May I ask you why you want to have 2 separate repositories, one upstream
and one downstream? I would personally go for a single git repository in
pkg-ocaml-maint, with an upstream branch with just the code and a debian
branch with the debian packaging stuff. Given that scenario you can
easily both make upstream releases of just the code and debian package
releases with both the code and the packaging stuff.

I suggest to spawn an instance of Stephane and his migration scripts on
the problem :-)
