Oh. I think I have misunderstood. I think you are describing a git workflow you use as a *downstream* of Debian, not as a maintainer *within* Debian. And I think what you are saying is that you don't use source packages (.dsc) except maybe in the innards somewhere of your machinery. I think that is a good way for a downstream to work. Certainly when I modify anything locally I don't bothere with that .dsc stuff. But my aim in this thread was to capture how people work *within* Debian, where a maintainer is still required to produce a .dsc. (Sorry that maybe I have wasted your time answering my questions.)
