Your words are not clear to me.
All pure Debian packages must included a debian directory. Non-native
packages may or may not include a debian directory in the upstream
source file. (Upstream source is upstream source. If the upstream
author provides an old/obsolete debian directory in the upstream tarball,
you should not remove it.) Non-native packages must contain a debian
directory after the Debian diff has been applied to the upstream source
tarball.
