Ah. Yes, I do, but not by design. The goal is for those snippets to get 
into the official cdbs package. Until then the files are duplicates 
pulled from a central repository.

central repository (the Debian wiki) until the goal (switching to the
already offline-documented set of routines topgit + git-buildpackage) 
can be reached.
