This would be really nice! As for Git, there are two things to concider:
First, we probably need to agree to the name of the branch in which the
debian/ files exist: some use "master", some "debian", or whatever seems
to fit. Second, one has to consider that Git repos may be bare, so you
can not access the files directly. This is not really a problem, one can
access them without the need to clone the repo. (I have a shell script
to do so for use with mr.) I guess this can be done in Python as well.
Both of them are no show stopers, I just wanted to write it down so it's
not forgotten. Hopefully I'll find the time to help implementing that
soon.
Best regards
Manuel
