I started my work with that today, but unfortunately ran into a bug
with git-import-dsc(s) triggered by an anomality in
fping_2.2b1.orig.tar.gz: http://bugs.debian.org/670099

I'll try to work around #670099 unless it's fixed very quickly.

The (currently still empty) git repo has been created at
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/fping.git

David reminded me that while 3.1 could be packaged without the need to
install it setuid on linux-any it's not necessary to do so, so I'll
likely start with 3.1, but without extra work on the linux-only
capabilities stuff (yet).
