I think this is particularly important for attracting new contributors and
easing the onboarding process.  There are a lot of odd Debian-specific
things that people have to learn because they're necessary to make Debian
work.  I am dubious that the Git representation is one of them, and would
rather continue down the path of providing Debian tools and processes that
reduce the delta between how Debian packaging uses Git and how most free
software development uses Git.
