Re: Two django packages for Debian?
So let me give my own answer to some of the questions asked here.

I believe it's useful to have some history, at least on a per-upload
basis (and it's relatively easy to do do with git-import-dscs + debsnap).

Feel free to use "debcheckout python-django" as a test bed (just don't
"git push" your tests).

"git clone"
For the multiple repositories, yes it's "mr" that most teams use.

I do use "git-buildpackage" but it's really not a requirement. debbuild
should be usable on a git clone.

I don't see the need for the team to impose anything here. patches are
stored in quilt format, people can use "quilt" or "git-dpm" or "gbp-pq".

git-import-orig --pristine-tar --uscan

git push origin :
git push origin --tags

Not putting the upstream sources would be non-sense. We want to be able to
use the git tools to maintain the quilt series and for this we need the
sources in git. It also makes it possible to use standard tools like
debuild instead of needing some pre-build setup logic to extract the
upstream sources and inject the debian directory.
