In git, branches of your remote (origin) are halfway there:
they don't show up unless you use git branch -r, but you can check them
out (at which time they become local branches).
I suspect this was so that adding a remote wouldn't screw up the list of
branches.

The other approach is git checkout <remote> <branch>, IIRC.

Regarding Debian packaging:
I've been keeping busy lately, but I hope to poke at it soon.
