Huh. That's possible, but doesn't explain why abc was missing then? Looking
at 581750b0 it seems to be there after all. Where did I pull the 48kLoC
number from then? Weird.

One theory: did you use `gbp clone`? If not some of the relevant branches
might have been missing locally. Maybe gbp fails hillariously when you
don't do that? Unsure.

Don't worry about it! I don't say these things to berate you for doing
anything wrong, but merely to explain what's going on and motivate you to
help ;-P

I've been doing this Debian thing for a little while now and I still don't
have a clue, but learning means being comfortable not knowing things (yet).
