What I really don't understand is, why we duplicate upstream files (now even really large files) on salsa.d.o. The debian/-only approach (or "overlay" layout in git-buildpackage) works fine. Salsa CI also works just fine. I cannot find anyhting useful in storing the upstream files in our Git. Also all other distributions I know, which store their packaging files in a VCS, only store *their* files, not the upstream sources. Do we really have to waste our resources? Regards, Daniel
