yep, understood.  I don't think that we're in the middle of transferring
code from debian/, gtk/, or qt/ though, right?

Yes, of course.  We build debian packages based on the released
tarballs.

But having a clearer/cleaner relationship between the released tarballs
and the upstream repo makes it easier for debian developers to
contribute back to upstream, and to pull narrowly-targeted changesets
from the upstream revision control if they're needed to fix identified
bugs before a new release comes out.

Speaking of new releases, thanks for all the recent work on pinentry,
Neal!  it's exciting to see that coming along.  I hope my little flood
of minor bug reports the last few days has been encouraging instead of
discouraging :)
