I know we sort of decided to only do this after 2.9, but I just picked

Do they want separate repository or separate tarballs ? Because, I would
What I understood from the irc conversation is that separate tarballs
would be okay for Kubuntu, but that debian insists on 1 repo = 1 tarball.
But that needs verification.
think that what they really want is the later, and separate repository create
some inconveniences for developers (and submodules have its own set of
caveats).
So an alternative would be to keep one repository, with "folders" that are
then packaged separately.
The way I see it:
* separate repositories
advantage: release manager friendly, since it has already a "tarball"
structure the build should be well tested
inconvenient: developer unfriendly, make it more difficult to move code,
have synchronizations issues (not sure if bisect will work well)...
* single repository split in multiple tarballs
advantage: developer friendly
inconvenient: release manager unfriendly, since developers would still be
building as a single unit, there might be some rough edge after splitting up
That said, I am not even sure that "single repository split in multiple
tarballs" is that release manager unfriendly, and we probably can make it so
that it is not.
