Please name the source-package (and hence the git repository) "scout" as that
name has not yet been taken in Debian and it is the name of the upstream
project. The *binary* package should, naturally, be libscout-clojure.

The debian/VERSION tag references the commit that has been uploaded, I
typically tag that *after* I uploaded a package (or after it has been
uploaded) and sign the tag. You can easily push the tag later with "git push
--tags".

You have to push those branches explicitly. A "git push --all" or "git push
--tags" would probably get them too, but you can also push them explicitly.

Not quite .. I'd like it if the git repository has the same name as the source
package. You would therefore have scout for repo and source package +
libscout-clojure for the binary.

I think we should only suffix the source-package name with -clojure if the
original name has already been taken in Debian (which is the case for
slingshot).
