I think that the workflow used by the Debian X team is such a git-first workflow that is not using dgit. That workflow combines Debian-specific patches managed by quilt, and commits cherry-picked from upstream directly applied to the source in git (outside of quilt). See <YjBujid4Z4XYNobE@jcristau-z4> There are 89 packages maintained by Debian X among the 607 packages in testing still using 1.0. Lucas
