With my Tails hat, I do concur.
Exactly. In Kali we use exclusively git for all packaging work and we use gbp import-dsc on a debian branch to make it easier to merge the debian changes in our forked packages. It seems natural to go one step further and share the packaging repository when Debian already uses git. And if you need another example, I just learned that the Debian and Ubuntu KDE teams want to use shared git repositories: see Future Changes in https://blogs.kde.org/2014/08/13/upstream-and-downstream-why-packaging-takes-time So yes, there's a need here.
