Hi Jonas.

due to bug #1026085 (O: cdbs -- common build system for Debian packages)
I did some research about packaging with cdbs for "no good reason" (=
very easy to replace by dh) and by doing so stumbled upon olpc-xo1.  I
also think that this package would be nice to have on Salsa and I took
the freedom to move it to the debian/ team[1] after verifying that there
is no "Debian Sugar Team" (or the like) on Salsa.  At least I found two
other olpc* packages inside the debian/ team so that seemed to be a good
fit to me.  Please let me know if the Sugar / OLPC team might have some
space somewhere else.

When I imported the package I used
   gbp import-dscs --debsnap --create-missing-branches --pristine-tar olpc-xo1
and realised that it contained some debian/gbp.conf file.  This might be
some indication that you might have a Git repository somewhere else. I'd
happily restore the full Git history if you might be able to provide
your repository somewhere.  I'd be also happy to move the repository
to some other place on Salsa according to your suggestion.

I do not really want to "Salvage" this package in the sense that I want
to care myself for it but I feel the debian/ team is a good place in any
case.  Thus I'd like to follow the ITS schedule and will wait 21 days
for your comments on this bug.  After this time I would upload to the
delayed=10 queue.

Hopefully see you in Brest
    Andreas.

PS: Private note: I vividly remember our Debian Edu workshop in Merida
in 2007 when I had my first hands on an OLPC laptop.  At the same
workshop you helped me with the Files-Excluded idea and implementation.
Sooo long time ago. ;-)
