A suggestion for policy: If a package source does not come fully unpacked - i.e. it uses a DBS-like system - debian/rules must include an unpack target, that unpacks the source code and applies all patches to it.
The motivation is, that I'm tired of wanting to look at the source code to a program, and discovering it's in some DBS-like system, and I don't have the foggest how to unpack it, short of running a build and killing the build, or manually (wherein it can be hard to tell what patches are applied in what order.) debian/rules unpack exists in some DBS-like packages, and is the simpliest solution, IMO.
