Most packaging teams are now converging to using Git. If you were to start packaging a new piece of software, you would likely be using Git, unless your team's policy advises otherwise. > 2.

If the corresponding Vcs-* fields in d/control are missing for these packages, then the packaging work is not stored in a VCS. You may generate one by calling `gbp import-dscs $PACKAGE` which will download all previous uploads and record them as successive Git commits. > If you give a answer, I'd appreciate it :) You're welcome.
