I think that reasoning is flawed. gitfm offers a different
functionality as git-scm. Desciding if you're running interactively
or not is IMHO a hack you had to add because of #362543.

If a user calls /usr/bin/git, it really _is_ completely different.

As stated above I believe it violates policy, but I happen to think
that it's actually a really nice way to transition /usr/bin/git.

So I'd propose to ask debian-release if we can tag this etch-ignore
or downgrade to important for the timeframe of etch.

That would IMHO be the nicest solution for this.

Comments?

HTH,
