Certainly leave the debian/ dir in there. If MEPIS/Ubunut/... start rolling
packages they can use this.
For now: I guess I'll keep working off my hg repository and will push
changes back occasionally as I do uploads (write access obviously would
simplify this if you trust me that far :-)
Long term, as I've said, I certainly plan to finally learn git and work from
there.
Regardless of which vcs I'm using: the process would be that I'd try to get
the packaging in a sane state during the beta/rc phase so most of the work
can be integrated in the git repo and shipped with the tarball. Ideally,
after a release, the only difference in debian/ between tarball and actual
Debian package would be the changelog entry.
