The debian git follows the upstream one. I.e. master is upstreams cornucopia 
repository and I extract the subdir to the upstream-dist branch etc.

As we will follow upstreams git for a while still, I would like to keep the 
branches as is for now. With this layout it's possible to make scnapshots with 
relative ease [merge master to "programname"-branch, merge "prog"-branch to 
upstream-dist, run autogen, merge to debian, update build files, build].

Also this helps visualize where each one comes from. I.e. debian branch on top 
of upstream etc.

that would be cool :-). The git repos should be writeable for pkg-fso members.
