For a bit of historical context, the current multi-branch structure from
the SF repo is quite antiquiated. It is from a time before debhelper
supported multiple .orig.tar.gz components. It might make sense to
consider starting with a new repo, with a more sensible branch
structure (one that works more easily with tools like gbp), and that
makes use of the multi-tarball capabilities so that you have have all
the source packages in view at the same time.
