I think all the best about using Git for packaging. The problem I have
with it (and this is the reason why I don't push it harder for
pkg-perl) is that the analog to "svn up" for a thousand of Git
repositories is way too slow.
This is also the reason why I use Git in quiet corner of pkg-perl --
apps/, destined to packaging of applications, which is a new (and
still experimental) stream of packages to the group.

I guess you mean "... Git-maintained packages in the group?".
padre[1] and clive[2]. I have set up a git-svn mirror[3] for
dh-make-perl, in order to make it a bit easier for Git-preferring Perl
gurus to contribute patches. Uh, well, I also use git-svn for
dh-make-perl hacking and I am very pleased with it.

Ah, there is another showstopper before wider addoption of Git in the
group: PET does not support it. I think Tincho expects patches from me
for this, but I am not there yet (and won't be any time soon).
