Cool!

A bit late but I see you are also maintainer for the Debian Gnulib
package. I thought your ideas there seemed really interesting, using a
distributed git bundle for building packages.

I didn't want to add extra noise to that discussion since I have no
packaging experience. The best I can do there is try to not modify
'gnulib-tool --version' sources so that you don't have to update your
patches. No promises there but I will do my best. :)
