Why are you opposed to using Salsa as the VCS for cpuset? You use Salsa for many other packages and Github for some others. Although there are obviously some DDs who dislike Salsa, I think the widespread project consensus is that Salsa should be used for packages if they are not hosted in some other VCS. Our current DPL, Andreas, ran on an explicit platform of encouraging Salsa and has continued to push towards that through his entire DPL term. I consider the lack of using any VCS to be a bug, perhaps of normal severity. And therefore, I do think it is appropriate to import a package with its history into the Debian namespace on Salsa as part of an NMU. The lack of a VCS makes it harder for people to contribute to the package and makes it harder to see full packaging history. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
