Well, there is less than half a year left until SVN will be teared down
if I understood right.  This somehow makes one Debian Med package per
day (I have not counted - probably its not that worse but if I want to
have some free days it comes close).

I would consider following

    https://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/docs/policy.html#git-repository-structures

since my Git workflow fits this.  There are other DebiChem packages
following the same structure.

In Debian Med policy I've also given a step by step description how to
do the migration.  The used script might need very minor modifications
for debichem and the authors file shuold be close to complete.

Kind regards

     Andreas.
