So, looking at it more closely, I found out that the initial commit is actually the upstream source, which means we can just branch from it for the upstream branch. While waiting for the workflow changes following DebConf17 BoF [0], I guess the best is to be as standard as possible, even if it's a bit painful in this case, since uscan doesn't allow arbitrary snapshots yet [1] and upstream stopped doing releases ages ago. So I guess manual snapshot and pristine-tar is the way to go. Of course if you have upstream and pristine-tar branch locally it would be great to push them ;) I asked to join the pkg-go project on alioth, because I have a couple commits ready locally for trivial nitpick, but I guess this package is not far from upload, and I'm preparing an ITP for golang-gopkg-lxc-go-lxc.v2-dev. Would anyone mind rewieving / uploading ? Jonathan, are you still working on this, or should I take over the ITP ?
