Dear FTP team,
There are now 4,921 source packages maintained in Git repositories
(http://upsilon.cc/~zack/stuff/vcs-usage/), and for some of them the
dpkg-source format 3.0 (git), for which support is available in Squeeze, would
be natural and convenien

Well! It's very interesting to have work that I have done, in the vain
hope of somehow finding another way to make Debian better, elicit
push-back like this. I suppose this will influence me some way or other,

Hi there.
Do you have swap space enabled?
How much memory do you have?
I get this problem, including font corruption (one or two characters per
font), whenever I run something that causes the system to start using
swap space.
For me, it seems to happen most to Gnome apps, including Google C

If I may briefly summarise your objections against the source format 3.0 (git):
1) It increases the risk of distributing non-free files.
2) It reduces our user's freedom to modify the software we redistribute,
