More a personal curiosity on my part (I'm now a little disappointed that I didn't make time to attend), but are you planning to leverage pristine tarballs as part of this workflow shift so you can take advantage of the version details set in the sdist metadata and the detached OpenPGP signatures provided upstream? Or are you sticking with operating on a local fork of upstream Git repositories (and generating intermediate sdists on the fly or supplying version data directly from the environment via debian/rules)? I'm eager to see what upstream release management features you're taking advantage of so we can better know which of those efforts are valuable to distro package maintainers. -- Jeremy Stanley
