sure, let's see first whether we agree upon how the package(s) should
look like.  Here's what I plan to do:

o split the package into git-core, cogito, and also split off gitk:
  source git-core with binary packages git-core, gitk; source cogito
  with binary package cogito
o maybe split off git-cvs*, git-svn* also
o don't link against openssl: set NO_OPENSSL, disable --merge-order
  in rev-list.c; link against libcurl3-gnutls (#321301)
o fix depends and change some depends into recommends
o complete repackaging without debhelper or any other build system, I
  usually use a simple collection of implicit Makefile rules for my
  packages
o try to solve the git<->git conflict with gnu interactive tools, for
  now keep the name 'gt' for the git wrapper

Packaging generally shouldn't be that hard, I'll prepare packages and
post a link here, so you can take a look at it, ok?

Regards, Gerrit.
