Package: dgit
Version: 13.15
Severity: minor

I happened to come across this bug report
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1095231
which is about the use of the word "component" both for archive areas
("main", "contrib", "non-free") and for supplementary orig tarballs.

In dpkg the name "component" is being retired.  Guillem proposes
some replaceent terminology in:
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1095231#15

In src:dgit, we should probably follow dpkg's lead.

I don't think this is a huge priority, mostly because extra orig
tarballs are a niche feature, but we may get around to it, or someone
might send us patches.

Ian.
