I re-read Ian's e-mail and realised I wasn't quite fair to you, either :) Ian did claim that dgit gives you one workflow for all Debian packages. It does indeed provide that. What I should have said was that it does not enforce /that/ workflow; it just makes it available, primarily for the benefit of NMUers and those who aren't already Debian contributors. -- Sean Whitton
