Hello,
I believe our current way of responding to ITPs for software that duplicates
the functionality other software that is already in Debian is wrong. We have a
very lengthy discussion everytime such an ITP happen, but usually they change
nothing (the submitter just goes ahead with packaging it)

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone is using pristine-tar with multiple upstream
tarballs.
It seems git-import-orig still doesn't support that. Do you import the
tarballs manually or is there another wrapper around pristine-tar to do
the work?
