Hi Andreas and everybody, For the package velvet: I created it. I sometimes use it. I uploaded it 14 times. I met the developer in the real life (5 minutes...). It has been some time I have been considering switching the source package to Git in order to track the upstream repository. I want to pull from them and send them patches. I found exiting to read that upstream maintains a debian direcory. I think that it is great, that it is fun, that it is rewarding, and that it will help Debian to increase its relevance in the field of bioinformatics. Upstream is responsive and I want to work with them. Others can have a different vision for their own packages. There is no need for a project-wide consensus there. The upstream guide on Debian's wiki gives an advice that is generic, but in the case of velvet, I volunteer to work directly from the Git repository, so it is not needed to ask Upstream to remove the debian directory from their tarballs.
