For reference I cloned the master repo and then deleted all the non-debian remote references (.git/config), killed all non-debian heads (.git/info/refs and .git/packed-refs) and ran git-prune followed by git-gc to create a 20M git archive that just tracks the packaging. I've then linked it in as described. Hopefully this should mean any debian package changes I make can be pushed upstream a little easier. > > The sub-project stuff doesn't look particularly clean or easy to me, but I > have to admit I haven't played with it enough to really know if it can or > can't work well for something like this.
