Hi Stefano,

I proposed debian/README.source some time ago, but it proved controversial as
debian/README.source is a README for the source package only, which excludes
the VCS that contains it:

        4.14 Source package handling: debian/README.source

        …

        debian/README.source may also include any other information that would 
be
        helpful to someone modifying the source package. Even if the package 
doesn't
        fit the above description, maintainers are encouraged to document in a
        debian/README.source file any source package with a particularly 
complex or
        unintuitive source layout or build system (for example, a package that 
builds
        the same source multiple times to generate different binary packages). 

Nevertheless, if you think the idea is worth the discussion, I can transfer
it on [email protected] and propose to extend the purpose of README.source

Have a nice day,
