That's really cool, but what would be even cooler would be something standardized in Debian, so that we all do the same way. Probably having your something like your xfs-remote-add-upstream script, but built in debcheckout, git-buildpackage or something like that. Now that you tell about it, I agree that adding yet another field in debian/control was short sighted.
