Yes. I think "dgit clone" should set up a remote for this
automatically. (The information is useful for a lot more than
contributing back: having the upstream git history, where it can be
found, is often useful for bugfixing, etc.)
What does pkg-perl-tools call this remote ? dgit and pkg-perl-tools
should agree.
