Yes, but there are caveats.

PET doesn't support Git (or multiple repositories in one instance) 
yet, so the packages there risk falling off-radar of the regular group 
members not particularly interrested in the package.

Using this location for "ordinary" perl module packages is a bit of an 
experiment. You are welcome to participate :)

dh-make-perl uses SVN location for Vcs-* when given --pkg-perl, you 
need to adjust the headers.

There is no documentation about Git usage. I'd suggest using 
pristine-tar (plus upstream and master branches).


Ryan, what is the status of Git support in PET?
