Would you mind terribly if we had a debian-only git repo (at least as
a first step). Me myself I would be perfectly happy with that, I want
to switch to git from SVN for two reasons:

* Quick browsing of the history. Who commited what for which reason?
* Merging while having history for the merged stuff in the
  unstable instead of just "merged from experimental".
