Yes.  I'm not particularly happy with that, but it turns out that most of
my current packages don't have a large enough delta against upstream for
it to be too overwhelming.  There are packages that aren't in those
category, and for those frankly I'd probably keep using quilt for the time
being, since exposing the individual patch sets in Git seems very
difficult and fairly annoying.

I'm still hoping for better tools.
