Yes, and that does not mean you can not hold your debian dir in upstream. As far as I know, new debian source packages format does not complain about debian dir in tarball. But if it does, then you still can hold your debian dir in upstream - just do not include it when you create your orig tarball for debian (that's what I do). > Usually the software is not so > specific, as the web-site suggest.
