The requirement to put things in SVN is there because we are a group
and we need a central place to work together. SVN is that place for
us. Mind you, we take care for over 1600 packages. Without a central
code repository we'd be insane since quite some time :)
That said, different sponsors indeed have different requirements. Or
to say it differently, they emphasise on different sides of packaging
practices. Even if some of the requirements are a matter of style or
preference, be prepared to defend your choices :)
Awaiting for your contributions,
