Eh, this is a problem often present also in other software, but it depends definitively on upstream dev team ideas. Grass developers had no time/interest in supporting packaging and indeed have dropped the debian/ dir for years. The same did not happen in the qgis world, because their release cycle is too fast for Debian. I found practical cloning and merging via git their tree adding minimal changes when required: something a bit more complicated than the usual upstream+debian git branch, but it works. -- Francesco P.
