Is there any point in droping the history from debian/changelog and
feeding it with non-Debian releases instead?  I'm perfectly happy with
moving the package to Debian Edu. However, I have some concerns:

  0. The fact that the development of the package happened silently
     and in parallel to an existing Debian package.

  1. There is no defined way to get the upstream source - there is just
      # We don’t provide a get-orig-source target because submodules
     in debian/rules.
     I would really prefer the gbp layout featuring an upstream and a
     pristine-tar branch

  2. You should *definitely* restore the old changelog of xrdp and
     assemble all changes between the current released package (0.6.1-2)
     to your release candidate.

  3. Why do you plan
      a) a non-official (random?) Git commit rather than a release?
      b) uploading to experimental rather than unstable?

Kind regards

       Andreas.
