Bug#1065907: shared-mime-info: consider including upstream source in Vcs-Git

[Simon McVittie]

Source: shared-mime-info
Version: 2.4-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

In my experience it is usually easier to work with source packages in a VCS
if their upstream source code is also present in the same VCS, and is
merged into the packaging branch (the same layout used by the GNOME,
Perl, Python and systemd teams, among others).

I've imported all upstream source known to snapshot.debian.org into:
https://salsa.debian.org/smcv/shared-mime-info/-/tree/pristine-tar?ref_type=heads
https://salsa.debian.org/smcv/shared-mime-info/-/tree/upstream/latest?ref_type=heads
Would it be OK to fetch these from my fork, push them to the main packaging
repository, and merge upstream/latest into the master branch?

Tags in the `upstream/*` namespace can also be fetched from my fork.

It might also be worth considering a rename of the master branch to
debian/latest as per <https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep14/>.

Thanks,
