Issue #1779 has been reported by micah.

Feature #1779: Please do not include the debian source in the release
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/show/1779

Author: micah
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: 
Category: Debian
Target version: 0.24.7
Complexity: Unknown
Affected version: 0.24.6
Keywords: 



It would make the debian packaging effort much easier if the upstream release 
did not include conf/debian at all. This appears to be a copy of the debian 
source tree for the package. This causes a hopeless headache when we try to 
merge in upstream's new release tarball because git gets very confused by the 
similarity of your conf/debian with our debian and tries to do a merge/rename 
and we end up having to resolve an annoying pile of conflicts that shouldn't be 
there.

I think it would be fine to keep a branch, if you wanted to, of the debian 
packaging, but shipping it in a release doesn't solve any problems. If you are 
wanting to ship it so people can easily build their own debian packages based 
off of the latest upstream release, I would prefer that you do not ship it and 
instead let people do this the normal way (obtain the debian source package 
from debian and then add the debian directory to the upstream release tar if 
they want it).
