The last commit in there is from 2012, so not that upstream right? There is nothing "wrong" with having the repo set up this way. The pull-debian-source is a way to get what you need by telling gbp to use this as the tarball source. That way you can go on with your workflow, even when the git layout is not meant for gbp. -- Christian Ehrhardt Software Engineer, Ubuntu Server Canonical Ltd
