Package: repo
Version: 1.12.37-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2

From the package description:

> repo is an unusual tool because it downloads all of its own Python
> modules using GPG-signed git tags, and stores those files as part of
> the project that it is working with.  So this package just provides
> the wrapper script, which provides the GPG signing keys for verifying
> that the correct Python code was downloaded.

Debian Policy § 2.2.1 says:

> [...] must not require or recommend a package outside of _main_ for
> compilation or execution

Debian Policy § 2.2.2 says:

> The _contrib_ archive area contains supplemental packages intended to
> work with the Debian distribution, but which require software outside
> of the distribution to either build or function.


I can only read this as repo (in its current form) belongs in contrib,
not main.
