Ideally the debianisation code should be moved into the source revision control of the software whenever possible, not only for the GS libs but also for applications based on GS. If those packages are still maintained from my experience developers will not object getting that 'debian/' directory from somewhere and keeping it in the source tree, probably accepting some patches every now and then. We've been using this approach quite successfully with Carlos Mafra and his git repo for WindowMaker (from which I auto-build new .deb packages whenever there are new revisions in the git). Ideally again this approach would have the debianisation from the sources leading the way for distro maintainers.
