Are you sure you mean git.lxde.org? There is no such host and on
lxde.git.sourceforge.net there are no debian packaging branches.

If we really need/want to have the Debian packaging stuff in our git, I
suggest to go for version specific 'debian-' branches. They could be
used to build of them with git-buildpackage, track them remotely and
sync from/to them from the real Debian packaging git. And most important
we would not distribute the 'debian' folder in our source tarballs.

Disclaimer: I'm not a Debian/Ubuntu packager and I don't know what these
projects require from us. If having this packaging information helps
them, sure, let's talk about it.  But I do a lot of Debian packaging in
my dayjob and know that the current setup is really bad.

Kind regards,
Christoph
