Thanks for working on this Stefano!

I haven't had time yet to dig into the details, but two questions come to
mind.  How does the results of your migration compare to what this script
leaves you with?

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/barry/import-dscs.git/tree/import-dscs.py

Also, what about patch regime?  The above sets up git-dpm early on, including
tag names, etc. so after the conversion you can just start using it to manage
patches.

I know we haven't yet decided on a patch regime, but we should... soon! :)
