the current Debian policy explicitly disallows shipping a Debian/ folder in
the "upstream" tarball or distribution. When buidling with recent debian
packaging tools, such a folder will be actively discareded, prior to adding
the actual Debian-folder from the debianisation-diff.


As a sidenote: I am maintaining several Debian packages (but not officially),
for example a package for Lumiera. Personally, I found the git-buildpackage
scripts most convenient and more in line with today’s tools and methods.

For this approach, you just maintain the debianisation in a Git branch,
which forks off / merges from the current release point. Then, you may
build the complete Debian package just from this Git tree with a single
command.

See for example
