Hello, Ondrej, thank you for the quick reaction. I've read the policy. So far (for my unofficial packages) I haven't been using pristine tar tool, trusting PyPI to store the official release tarballs. The package is configured such that the pristine tars can be downloaded using the command 'gbp import-orig --uscan'. I find this approach more elegant compared to the hack that is pristine-tar.
I've also kept the full upstream history in the upstream branch, assuming this to be more robust and powerful. For example, this allows to directly cherry-pick commits into the patch queue. Since both these practices are discouraged by the policy, I'm ready to give them up, but before I spend time working on it, I would like to ask whether tinyarray could be exempt from any one of both rules. According with the policy, I would provide a debian/README.source file with the above rationale and instructions. Thanks, Christoph
