   I did have the package in revision control for a while but it just made   
   the whole experience of working on it miserable and I never saw any   
   indication that anyone had ever tried to interact with it or any of my   
   other packages so I stopped bothering, I was getting negative benefit   
   from it.  Every time I've tried poking at it the tooling was slow and   
   unpleasant to work on with patching systems since it tended to be hard   
   to tell what state things were in or generally work on changes to the   
   actual code (as opposed to packaging).  For stuff that's just pure   
   packaging it's fine, but sadly we need patches for zlib.
