Thanks, I've pulled from there as a basis for an initial packaging repo:
https://salsa.debian.org/sdl-team/libdecor-0

I would strongly prefer the git repo to be "source included", like the
one for libsdl2 - that fits the policies of both the SDL and GNOME teams.

Some of the changes I suggested will make it incompatible with the
packages currently in your PPA (i.e. break upgrades), so it might be
best to have a "clean break" between the PPA and the official Debian
packaging, by forking https://salsa.debian.org/sdl-team/libdecor-0 on
salsa.debian.org and doing new packaging work there.

I can give you commit access to that packaging repo when we've got a bit
further, but you'll need an account on salsa.debian.org first, and it
might be best to do at least the first few changes as merge requests.
