Whilst it is true that devscripts is a Debian native package, it is also
true that other distributions are packaging it, and they routinely need
to patch it to remove too-specific Debian stuff (like dependencies on
dpkg stuff). I'd rather try to keep things separated when that's easy
enough to do.

tbh, I fail to properly read your sentence above, so I'll avoid doing a
guess of what you mean.

I don't see that as a problem.

I don't see that as something too complex.

Yeah, well. I haven't checked all of them, but it could be that they
are most probably uninstallable due to something i those packages being
at fault. I think that the only thing devscripts should try to do for
now is to move libgit-wrapper-perl to a <!nocheck>, that would make a
good step already.
