We are migrating from svn to git, and we are doing it exactly that: we just import the current source packages into git and leave svn behind. Another possibility -- probably better than basing off the existing source package -- is to gem2deb the current upstream version, import that into git, and then pull the relevant bits from the old packaging, in special debian/copyright, bit from debian/control, manpages, etc ... Occasionally I go over to the svn repository and delete the packages to mark that they do not belong there anymore. -- Antonio Terceiro <terceiro@debian.org>
