Creating this might be perfectly part of the MoM and in most cases the
repository was added in a later edit.

That's perfectly fine.

Well, that's no actual question which is related to Debian packaging so
I drop my Debian developer hat and answer from my very personal opinion:
If I would write ANSII-C I would really stick to ANSII-C comment syntax.
Everything else is confusing.  If you really want to use C++ syntax for
whatever sugar you like than it makes sense to use the .cpp extension.

I'm not sure whether the Debian Med packaging list is the right list to
ask this kind of questions.  I do not mind about off-topic questions but
I think the audience here on this list is not necessarily the best to
give you the optimal answer.

Kind regards

         Andreas.
