Welcome, Stéphane! Thanks for your introduction, and I am looking
forward to learning from your experience.

I am currently all crazy about topgit (0.4 to be uploaded ASAP), and
maybe you want to check it out. The topgit source package contains
a debian/README.source file to explain what I am doing there. There
are still rough edges, but I think it's a pretty nice way of doing
things...
