I found myself needing a packaging git repo for acl for a work project,
so I imported its history from snapshot.debian.org. In case it's useful
to the maintainer or anyone else, I've uploaded a copy here:

https://salsa.debian.org/smcv/acl

There are branches for all supported Debian and Ubuntu suites, following
DEP-14 naming conventions.

I'm happy to transfer that repository to https://salsa.debian.org/debian
or some other namespace if the acl maintainer would find it useful.

Bug#909308: acl: VCS control fields don't lead to the Debian packaging

[Stephen Kitt]

Package: acl
Version: 2.2.52-3+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The Vcs-Browser and Vcs-Git fields point at the upstream git
repository, which doesn’t contain the Debian packaging. Could you make
the Debian packaging available in a VCS and point the control fields
there instead?

Thanks,

Stephen
