that's true for dgit (and tag2upload) but Fred asked "on salsa *or* dgit",
and surely it's possible with salsa and (git-annex or git-lfs) and well
established upload tools like (dput, dput-ng or dupload).
so yes, dealing with big files in git is entirely possible with Debian's
tools. just not with some, uhem, newer ones.

Bin mir manchmal nicht ganz sicher, was mehr triggert, Impfen oder Gendern.
Um ganz sicher zu gehen, empfehle ich beides. (@drluebbers)
