Fine for me. In any case we should have a clone on Alioth. > Note that it does not contain the ‘pristine-tar’ and > ‘upstream’ branches, which are not particularly useful anymore. In any case you should add the needed workflow / tips how to deal with this. I somehow wonder in how far two different people should create an md5sum identical orig.tar. Seems with this workflow it is not possible without using `apt-get source`. > Currently, the package fails to build: changes upstream now let the hardening > flags be passed to the compiler, which triggers fatal errors.

Seems not be to hard. Please, if you put advises into policy to let me know if I should do this as quilt patches or commit directly to the repository. I'm specifically interested because we might adopt this workflow for mne-python as well.
