Hi Simon, You were right that the Salsa history was wrong. I had imported the upstream release archive rather than the complete upstream Git history. The archive honors .gitattributes export-ignore entries, so it omitted the website and other development files from the Git tree.
I have corrected the repository on Salsa: https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/slat The full upstream v1.0.0 history is now on the upstream branch and tagged upstream/1.0.0. It is merged into debian/sid at commit 900ad05. I verified that: git diff --name-only upstream..debian/sid contains only files under debian/. No application source code was changed. The debian/sid branch, upstream branch, and upstream/1.0.0 tag have all been pushed to Salsa. Thanks for catching this.
