Hi Sam,

I've experimented with this a tiny bit, yes. In your model, how do
you deal with Debian-specific changes to the upstream source, e.g.
to make it FHS-compliant?

Also, the Debian changelog is already nicely away from the upstream
one, isn't it? That said, I still believe we need to get rid of
having the Debian changelog stored as a file in VCS...

Cheers,
