Yes.

When using git-import-orig, the version control history for the upstream
branch is simply "add and mangle this tarball", and nothing much is
going to happen there until the next tarball is imported with the next
puppet release.

It is far simpler, but certainly less elegant.

How would patches from upstream for eventual documentation- and bugfixes
be handled?  A separate branch, or the use of patch handling tools like
quilt?
