The opinion of the release team matters here more than yours or mine.  Before 
doing anything pre-release, we ought to get a reading from them.

Experimentation with a few packages to prepare for a migration and make sure 
the documentation is good, is fine.  We really ought to switch for real all at 
once like we did for svn -> git.  It's not much of a team repository without a 
consistent approach for VCS use.

What should we call the clone page?

The .git-dpm file is only shipped with the Debian source package, and
AFAIK has no meaning outside git. So it is a useless file for the Debian
source package. There should be no impact whatsoever in removing it, and
you could even argue that it was a bug to distribute it in the Debian
source in the fist place.

That may be a better reason.

Hence the reason I suggested not doing a mass migration of all packages
at once (at least for now) but to update the package when it otherwise
needs updating.
