I'd agree with you on squashing commits.  Right now, it's just a pretty
standard git post hook that looks at all the commits and sends a mail
from the commit author to the mailing list.  This approach is good
enough for changes to the debian branch in general, but really isn't
when we're doing upstream pulls.

We can either change the git commit hook or change how we commit.  I
don't mind either way, but the latter seems easier (and possibly more
correct) to me.

Thoughts from others?

Cheers,
