The debian directory should never be part of a tarball. Upstream can maintain a debian directory in the svn tree, but never it should release it. Also, why this specific patches could not be just applied upstream, instead of adding another folder ? Also, you need to keep in sync this folder with the changes you made on your specific patch. I can't see any advantage to keep them in the upstream tree. A link in a README file should be suffisant. On Debian, there is http://patch-tracker.debian.org/ and Ubuntu have http://patches.ubuntu.com/ for this purpose.
