Or is there any more Debian > friendly place for these debian packaging repositories? If you prefer the current situation, feel free to use a native package or keep the package as-is, lintian is a provider of friendly packaging advice rather than something that must be followed. If you decide to split the debian/ dir, you could also keep it on github but not in the orig.tar.gz, either by filtering the tarball created by github using the Files-Excluded feature of uscan/mk-origtargz, or by storing the debian/ dir on a separate branch or separate repo. Otherwise, Salsa is a popular place for storing Debian package git repos: https://wiki.debian.org/Salsa -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
