However, you should be aware this means essentially, that we are forking upstream. Moreover, this also implies a totally different workflow compared to our other pkg-multimedia packages.For consistency reasons, I'd prefer to not go that way with a team package. But I don't really work much on jack myself, so don't put too much weight in this opinion.
In my experience the workflow need not be very alien to normal git-buildpackage:
* Reserve branches master*, upstream* and pristine-tar for Debian * Merge upstream release tag into "upstream" before tarball import That's it!
