Sounds sensible to me. > 1. upstream work is allowed in the pkg-multimedia repository Debian in general has no rules against above described packaging style. The purpose of rules/guidelines specifically for this team is to avoid making collaboration too hard. I am unaware if this team disallow/discourage above described packaging style in particular - seems to me to be an elegant _extension_ to our common style. > 2. intermediate packaging work is allowed in the pkg-multimedia > repository Not sure I understand what you mean here. > 3. it would be okay to have the github and pkg-multimedia repositories > sync up. (or at least share commits). As long as you do that syncing yourself, not expect others to do it (or require jumping through special hoops to preserve syncability), I see no problem with that. > 4.

I suspect this issue really isn't about ongoing packaging style, but misunderstanding about how to bootstrap: I suggest you setup the gits for "your" packages yourself at the pkg-multimedia area of Alioth - then you can yourself try ensure that it is syncable with github. Beware, though, that gits at Alioth has some hooks attached so as to report to our IRC channel and commit list. Make sure, if you do not use the provided script, that you manually setup the gits properly.
