True.

Yes!  Stefano has a bunch of scripts that he used to convert DPMT svn to git,
so there's a great starting place.  Probably the main thing to change there
would be to forego conversion to git-dpm and work on conversion to gbp-pq.

Or, let's be expedient and use the existing scripts to go to git-dpm for now,
taking up gbp-pq transition along with DPMT after Stretch.

(While you're at it, gosh I'd love the zope packages to be moved to git + DPMT
:).

If it doesn't happen by then, Debconf 2017 would be a good time to work on
this stuff.

Cheers,
