Thank you for working with me on this.

Would you decline to upload on that basis? I appreciate you don't
think there's a benefit, but is there any appreciable harm from having
the ‘adventure-common’ package?

My thinking is that the Python 3 package is rather idiosyncratic, and
that I'd like to make it clear the common files are available for
different ports from the original Fortran program.

I'm not going to insist, but I'd like to know whether you think this
structure is harmful, or only that this isn't the style you would
choose.

I didn't see that part of the specification, thank you.

Okay. The name ‘pkg-python-adventure’ was originally chosen because
the repository had only the Debian packaging, like other ‘pkg-foo’
repositories. I will re-name it now that the repository also contains
the upstream code.

Recently, the default browser on Alioth was switched to Cgit. So,
at <URL:https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/dput.git> the Cgit
browser is presented.

Great, I didn't know that existed :-) I will follow that procedure.
