Be careful of this advantage, though.  It works when you deal with git 
exclusively for all your packages but for the majority of our packagers, 
we'll have to deal with a minimum of two vcses and methodologies.  I 
deal with upstream who has svn, cvs, none, hg, and bzr.  So if we did 
good exploded tree support I'd need to work with dist-cvs, hg, and bzr 
locally.

(And saying: "Don't convert your other packages" is extremely hard for a 
variety of reasons:

1) Since you aren't the only maintainer, you may not have a choice.
2) When packages are passed back and forth between maintainers, you end 
up with a very disjoint history if you let them switch in and out of 
upstream VCS arbitrarily.
