I haven't looked at stefano's script but git-import-dscs will import all
source packages in a single linear history (importing the packages by
increasing version) and that isn't representative of the true history.
For python-django, I imported all the "normal" versions in the debian/sid
branch but manually imported the "+deb7uX" in a debian/wheezy branch,
the "+squeezeX" in a debian/squeeze branch, etc.
