[1] I think these goals make it difficult to provide the otherwise
desirable objective of being able to represent a patch series. IMO
that objective is less important now that more and more people are
working purely in git and treatin
ures here.
Mandating *more* use of patches-and-tarballs is a step backwards.
The .dsc source format (which I first invented in 1992 is now
obsolete). We must maintain it for compatibility for a very long
time, but almost everyone is already treating git as primary.
But our git setups are not official, not coherently discoverable or
useable.

laytree, which could be
used to override any other troublesome settings.
The difficulty here is just the .pc directory. Perhaps dgit ought to
remove it or move it aside, before running gbp pq.
If we did that then we might want to explicitly *enable* the new
checks.
