+About repacked upstream sources
+-------------------------------
+
+When the upstream sources needs to be repacked (for example to drop some
+non-DFSG compliant files), then the branches and tags under the
+`upstream/` prefix should actually contain the repacked sources.
+
+How the problematic files are pruned does not matter. What matters is that
+what is stored in the `upstream/*` namespace are the sources that package
+maintainers are effectively using.
