Hi Russ and everybody, it is indeed hard to reach conclusions when discussing on high-traffic mailing lists. I have attempted to summarise some elements of discussion on wiki.debian.org. Please let me know if I have misunderstood or misrepresented people's contributions, and I will correct. Please of course feel free to correct or update by yourself. http://wiki.debian.org/GitSrc#Discussion In the case of the initial copryight review, which is if I understand well the strongest objection, wouldn't it be solved if the first upload to Debian would contain as few history as possible ? Then the quantity of history in the source packages could be allowed to grow, for instance up to one or two previous stable releases.
