I'm looking at the current Debian packaging, and as far as I can tell, you
started using git-dpm but haven't pushed the current packaging (for
1.6.2-1) to a git repo. Can you upload it to the collab-maint repo, or
point me to the new location if there is one?
I'd be interested in using git-dpm, but don't want to duplicate work / end
up with a divergent repo.

I'm fine with using eithe collab-maint or github as primary, for Debian
packaging; syncing things between the two is probably a good plan anyway.

Sure, I don't know as much as others but would be happy to help. I tend
to find the easiest plan is to minimize the delta and then use
requestsync if it's past Debian import freeze.
-c sipb tends to be useful about Ubuntu packaging in general. :-)
