Agree. We talked with Sandro on IRC, the problem is in a bad internet
connection --- it takes ~40min to download 10MB -- then of course
every MB matters. For me it takes just couple seconds, so it doesn't
really matter if I am downloading tarball+debian dir separately, or
together in a git repo.
I just assumed that everyone has a decent internet connection these
days, and I was wrong. :)
