As far as I understand the consensus about SVN usage upstream sources
should have never been there. Unfortunately the Debian Science policy
document is far from finished so it is not documented and you can just
draw this conclusion from the general usage.

I understood the usage consensus always like this. I'm also a big
friend of spending time on doing actions rather than spending too much
time in discussion. There is always a chance to revert a change ...

That's consensus for Git usage and that's why I suggested to those
people who might need upstream source to use Git rather than SVN.
