I'm not sure this is specific to git, but rather to any maintainer (team) which maintains multiple packages in a single repository. And regarding layout: vcswatch already has code to try both `/debian/changelog' and `/changelog' and use either of them. Having an explicit layout (-l standard vs. -l native) would make this more explicit rather than relying on heuristics. So while I would prefer the minimum changes needed, I'm wondering whether explicit layout is not something that should actually be done. regards, iustin
