I'll investigate that. Maybe that's consequence of the broken permissions
on alioth some weeks ago.
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?a=project_list;pf=pkg-multimedia does
not seem to list anything and
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/ does not contain any pkg-multimedia
projects.

If you want to keep the history of your current packaging repository,
updating it to current team practice is probably the best way. Beside
the branch naming convention, a pristine-tar branch is missing in the
current repo. We can also just create a new repository once the package
is ready to upload by following the steps described in 4.1 of
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/DevelopPackaging (or import the
current package and continue working in pkg-multimedia's repo).

I will start reviewing the current packaging later today.
