Neil Williams seems to think that there is never a situation where it
is better (or at least no worse) for upstream to include the debian/
directory. I disagree with that.
While the presence of debian/ in upstream as usually not a good idea,
I think there are situations where it's useful and helpful.
I don't think this is something we need a project-wide agreement
about, either. This is surely something for the maintainer and the
upstream to negotiate about.
