Hi Nuno et al., I finally found the time to work out how to deal with this giant package which breaks git-import-orig... So I've been able to do some work on this (more inline below).

I used this patch set because it's more complete than Christophe's -- includes patch forward-porting, other updated files, even satisfying lintian and making the tests work (though I haven't gotten quite that far yet). The result is up on alioth now. I'm going to build it tonight and test it over the weekend (it takes too much memory for too long to interrupt my day for it). > Let me know how/if you need the format patch in a different way.

Anyone else with feedback on the package?
