And for now, the "usual rule" is to remove the debian/ directory. It's also a technical problem (see the second link). All debian directories in a tarball will finished removed, and the tarball re-packaged without it. It's because Debian tools can't handle this nicely. This is also why maintaining a debian directory in the svn tree is a good thing, for the reasons said in the links you posted. Other solutions are available, like renaming the debian/ to debian-upstream/, to not conflict.
