Hi.
Thanks for the explanation on upstream and pristine-tar branches and
gbp.conf.

Beeing in the debian-iot packaging team for a very short time this is
not a decision I should or want to make.
I personally would not put the upstream sources into version control.
Putting something into vcs that I do not intend to modify seems
pointless to me.
I am however willing to follow any decision on how to handle this for
mosquitto. If it is common to have upstream and/or pristine-tar
branches we should go that way.

I'll check and if no one steps forward with another decision within a
week or two I'll do that.
Sincerely,
Joachim
